   Well, I pretty much gave up on the "surplus" era decades ago   
   when I watched surplus Army teletype vans come into the local   
   surplus dealer only to be told they were not available.  He   
   later went out of business.  Hard to run that kind of a   
   business from a Federal Pen.  Seems the government surplus   
   people in the states had learned they could get a lot more   
   money shipping them to South America and selling them to   
   drug cartels.  I still often wonder how many AN/GRC-26/D   
   vans are sitting scattered around the South American   
   jungles now that they do business over sat phones.  :-)
