WOW - well never seen a picture of one but heard of them from some RME
Collectors here in Dallas. Kinda collectable since it was the last gasp of
RME. There is a small group here that collects the last tube rigs of dying
companies from the 50's 60's and 70's.

Interesting concept since back then most would do anything they could to
save their companies and some of these "desperation" rigs reflect that.

RME collectors? Collectors who specialize in the last tube rigs
of dying companies?

I'm trying to figure out why "common" tube transceivers go for a
song and a half dozen small hunks of roughly machined brass and
steel go for a hundred bucks or more. Why do J-38's cost more
than some Vibroplex keys?

Why do "catalin" radios sell for thousands of dollars, more than a
KWM-2?
