Yeah, but they're still a rip-off. Their prices
were high in the
late 70's when I used to get their catalog, and they're high now.
And they keep selling the stuff!
The reasons that the stuff is not "hamfest special priced" is that they
can get decent money for some of the stuff from foriegn governments, and
that they have a huge overhead. When you buy surplus from the military,
you buy lots, not items. You may have to purchase six tons of dented
waveguides just to get the nice HP frequency counters buried below.
