Dianna,
A rare (complete) item in Civvie hands. Those radio mostly went to the 'muncher', as they were declared obsolete and disposed of after the edict that no radio equipment would be released to the public.
The complete set came in a fantastic aluminium carry-case, fully sealed against the elements with the radio components all carried in hard foam inside. The huge wharehouse at Moorebank was chockers with them and the US radios (RT524, PRC25, etc) when I visited to get several for the AWM. When we went back a few weeks later to pick up the few pallet loads we had chosen, the wharehouse was empty. It was then I was told they had been scrunched for scrap. I kicked myself for not asking for more for the AWM. Too late now!
