[Milsurplus] WWII Warbird radio job

[J. Forster]

The world is crawling with such luddites that want NOS radio and RADAR
gear to house MP3 players or something.

Frankly, every time a warbird crashes, my sympathies are wholly with the
irreplacable technical achievements lost forever, not the damn fool pilot.
Pilots are a whole lot easier to replace.
