That guy had a big laser for sale at the Belton hamfest a few years back. It looked dangerous even without the 500 volt power supply.
That was amazing!!! Funny that I am new to this stuff and most of it has been around before I was born. Prices are cheap for 2020 but in 1969-70 those are pricy items!!!
Yes, you could easily put another zero on the end of the price to get it's value in today's dollar.
Our compensation needs to go up by 2.5X whatever one makes now to pace productivity increases since then. (Then, higher cost of living added to that).
X10 as a price comp is accurate, but the understanding (meaning) of imported slave-made goods isn’t.
Got sidetracked with that site into reading on tube radios of the AM table-top variety. Broadcast. Looked at one restoration and the sellers comment was, now good for another 62-years.
$299. Beautiful.
Everything today is ugly.

Bump. If you have some time to kill over the holidays, a person could easily spend a few days looking through this stuff!
Took me best part of a year (just out of high school) to save up for an AM only Cobra 89XLR. $150 in 1977 dollars. SSB bases were out of reach for me then, had to scrounge.

In high school I saved up to buy an RCI2950 in 1991. HRO sold them for around $480 I think it was back then! I went from a Radio Shack 40CH AM only to an RCI2950 in one swoop.
I gave myself enough money for cigarettes' and gasoline did not eat lunch.

The HTX-212 was actually made by Kenwood for Radio Shack. I forget the Kenwood model number but I remember a few guys getting them and referring to them as their Kenwood HTX-212. LOL
i cant remember the kenwood model but looked identical to the htx 212.
i called mine a woodshack
I remember when most of the interwebs was just like that site. A ton of VERY COOL info. Thanks for posting.
