Welcome to the New Surplus Era.

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. :-)
