Default Re: Very interesting auction of communications equipment

Back in the sixties, easily usable receivers like HROs and AR88s cost real money. Military stuff like 19 sets and R1155 were cheap and sometimes used as parts donors for homebrew exploits. So now it's the military stuff that fetches top dollar, unless something bearing a swastika turns up - now that really sends some collectors into a frenzy.

The Nikonos camera went cheaply, I thought they were a bit sought after. Designed originally by Jacques Cousteau, no less.
