Our regional boating magazine is about to observe its 40th year of publication,
so I'm digging through issues from each of the first few decades to choose
material for an article to lauch the anniversay year.

T&G Electronics was advertising some VHF radios. (Remember, these are 1965
prices...) The 75-watt, six channel model was available for $299. A 110-watt
model, also six channel, was priced at $399. The top of the line, very deluxe
150-watt unit with *8* Channels (!) was a mere $549. (A lot of middle-class
jobs only paid about $500/month back then. Imagine taking out an 18-month
installment loan to buy a VHF)
And those were crystal controlled with flibberdejibbet tune controls.
I have one in my collection of antique radios - I'll take a picture
today and post it.
Later,
Tom
