Tell that to eBay.  I still need a VFO for my DX-60 and when
they show up the prices are usually ridiculous.  But then, so
it is for everything else old.  I just went looking for an old
Knight kit Signal Generator.  Prices are usually at least 10
times the original price for something that may or may not work
and at the very least will need a complete upgrade of all the
capacitors, especially electrolytic.
