Dianna,
A rare (complete) item in Civvie hands. Those radio mostly went to the 'muncher', as they were declared obsolete and disposed of after the edict that no radio equipment would be released to the public. The complete set came in a fantastic aluminium carry-case, fully sealed against the elements with the radio components all carried in hard foam inside. The huge wharehouse at Moorebank was chockers with them and the US radios (RT524, PRC25, etc) when I visited to get several for the AWM. When we went back a few weeks later to pick up the few pallet loads we had chosen, the wharehouse was empty. It was then I was told they had been scrunched for scrap. I kicked myself for not asking for more for the AWM. Too late now! Mike C

I know of a couple of complete sets in private hands, with their 3 travel cases or is it 4. I have been told (whether it's true is another question) that a disposal store in Canterbury had a number but when it was revealed the sets had thousands more in value for the gold contained inside than could be got selling the sets to radio enthusiasts the sets got crushed.
As for my other radios, most of them have come from overseas, as a licenced amateur my possessing and importing sets is legal. The Israelis are more than happy to sell you a PRC-77 which makes a mockery of the Australian nanny state policies. Last edited by Dianaa; 23-01-12 at 22:45.
