They REALLY think I'm blowin' Smoke up their behinds when I tell 'em that my RCA AR-60 was $495 in 1935,when you could buy a new Ford V-8 that year for $650. Or that my Rohde & Schwarz EK-07 cost the German Gov't some $6000 in the mid Sixties... I'll tell 'em they can HAVE the EK, but they gotta move it by themselves, no help allowed.At its 150 LBS, & the fact its on the bottom rung of a shelving unit, nobody has ever seriously TRIED to move it. I Picked it up solo when I 1st got & I saw moons, stars, planets, & damn near dropped it, I've NEVER done THAT again..
