Same here-I had all the hot gear when I lived at home. Motorola out the wazoo, Icom receivers, etc. but all finito now. Thank God for CCR's otherwise no radio hobby.You are definitely about 10 years older than me John but yes those were the days.
Not only were radio receivers, monitors and electronics cheaper but everything was. I was 12 in 1965, if I had 65 cents in my pocket I was living high on the hog, walked to the outdoor shopping plaza, get lunch at the Delicatessen for about 20 cents and then I would go to Baskin-Robbins and get a double dip cone I'm guessing for about 15 or 25 cents.
One things for sure I always had money available for radio equipment, tunable Police radios, CB radios, shortwave radios, always my priority my whole life, even if they were relatively expensive items.
Makes me wonder when the whole system is gonna implode. Glad I'm old, wanna be out of here before it does.
