Tisha,

Picking up one of these radios I am filled with a sense of history. These
were on the front lines of the cold war, listening for the Russians, Chinese
and Vietnamese. I do not think that there would be the same sense of history
in a NOS radio that was stored in a warehouse since it rolled off the
factory line.

There is a real point I had not though on long enough. I have a Blue striper
we know came out of an ASA sight some where and one that was used in the
Long Beach California ship yard prior to about 1980. The Long Beach one
looks better but it sure does not have the history of my blue striper.

Thanks for fixing my point of view.
