What has happened to them all?

Surely no self-respecting radio amateur would ever think of putting
them in the garbage?

But that's exactly what happened to them.

Indeed. A lot of them were dismantled for parts, I can recall HRO
tuning mechanisms etc. being used in homebrew projects. You have to
remember back in the '60s these were just "old radios" not antiques.

There have been a few HROs and AR88s on UK eBay recently, so they're
still out there. Prices aren't too bad either.
