Grant: You really know how to hurt a guy!!!

I recall a surplus store called Hercules on Yonge St in Toronto which sold totally complete sets in a wooden crate for the horribly high cost of $10.00.

This was in the mid to late '50s when amateur radio operators would use them for HF DXing on the 40m through to the 120m bands.

Even today, at hamfest swap meets, junker Rx/Tx and/or Power Supplies fetch up to $75.00 alone.

Thanks for sharing the list.
