really? which ones? I used to have so much GR gear....got rid of all but two 
small pieces. I have a friend that works there. Some of my stuff is in the 
museum up there...I liked the stuff in wood boxes the most. I had some rare 
stuff too. Like a Z-Y bridge....My favorite was probably the analog solid 
state automatic bridge (1685?) with the two big meters on the front....you 
could match components to within I think 0.005%. Not bad for early '70s 
technology..
