Mike.

How were contracts awarded in Australia during the war. Were companies assigned them by a government agency, or were they bid on?

Not sure . Maybe somebody else will know ?

AWA history here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amalga...s_(Australasia)

As always with WIKI , the information is not to be believed until its been double checked . I have found a few WIKI blunders .

He didn't get any bids so it's relisted. Same price though.

I recall buying three of them for 50 bucks each , would have been 1990. Not as complete as that set just sold but the power supplies were in the deal. Included in the same deal were three British 22 sets with power supplies , ah the good old days ! I paid 100 bucks in the mid 90's for a B2 spy suitcase set , I had 3 of these sets at one time, one sold recently for 5k$ , madness if you ask me. I ran out of space and the sets in my collection were deteriorating from dampness , wardrobes stuffed full of stuff, under the house, whats the point, we cannot take it with us to the grave.

A chap in NSW had shipping containers jammed full of this stuff, he died, the wife had to deal with it all, the vultures came out of course.Found the story here http://www.portabletubes.co.uk/sitefiles/colin.htm

His main site is here http://www.qsl.net/vk2dym/
