They're nuts. Some of the radio folk might be tending towards that but radios are nothing like the antiques on TV. All of that antique stuff is way overpriced. I'm not disputing that some whack-job collector will pay tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars for the weird lamp, table, or wooden chicken. I'm saying that there is no reason for those items to be priced that high. Especially since a lot of it could be duplicated to a 99.9% acuracy by a skilled forger or craftsman. None of the radios that we discuss here have anything like the valuations of "antiques". If they did, a KWM-2A, "Vietnam War Antique from the Last Century, Cannot be duplicated, even by the most skilled craftsman as the parts are no longer made.", would be priced to the hundreds of thousands of dollars. They're not. An M-2A is maybe $1,000-$2,000, Less than the original price. That era Corvette or Porsche was less than ten thousand dollars. If just adjusted for inflation, an M-2A should be ten to twenty thousand dollars. If the collector people discover that we actually use "Military Communications Gear from the Vietnam or Cold War", they would throw money at us to get this stuff. I'm counting on that not happening for a while and have been slowly and selectively buying a few interesting items. I hope to make the Howard County BRATS hamfest this weekend. Likely someone who doesn't think like I do will have an interesting boatanchor for sale. About 40 years ago, I saw a KWM-2A that had been modified to include a built-in 312B-4, or at least that's what it looked like. There were two horizontal slots cut below and to either side of the PTO knob. In each slot, the fellow had added the two levers from the 312B-4. Would a collector turn it down? Probably, but I thought it was an interesting radio. Anyway, boatanchors are interesting radios. Fun to use. It's nice to fix them up. I'm not into modifications though. de ah6gi/4 at least none that can't be reversed.
