I'll take five of each in the top row, do you think that if I mail in the bottom order form with a check they'd send them to me...

Those are military prices, not retail prices.
In 1967 the retail on a 5513 was $160 and a 5512 was $210.

And to think, in 2060 people on TRF will be amazed that in 2015 you could buy a sub for 8k.
