Default Where did the Progress Line radios go?

I was just wondering: whatever happened to GE's "Progress Line" and
Motorola's competing commercial sets from the 70's? They were
crystal-controlled, transistorized or hybrid units that put out
something like 70 watts.

Of course, they've been retired from commercial service, but _where_ are
they? Unless they were all crushed for the gold content, they must be
sitting in warehouses, so why don't hams make use of them and set them
up on 52.525 (or whatever) or the other FM bands?

Just curious: I'd like to have the chance to use one.

Bill, W1AC
