Hi Folks:  I recently picked these up at an estate sale of a helicopter pilot.  They are a CPU-26A/P and E6-B9.  The pilot served in Korea and Germany etc.

 

What are they worth approximately?  Tks,

Pretty common items.  I have a CPU-26A/P that I picked up for about $15.   Cool, but unfortunately not worth a lot...

I thought they looked cool…Thank you 


They are cool, just not exceptionally rare or expensive!  I would have snagged them as well!

By the way, I also wear the USAF Maintenance and Munitions badge, albeit the basic level one from my enlisted days.  👍

Nice that you notice my AFSC badge.  As one Airman to another….thank you!  I was in from 1972-76 as an inventory mgt specialist E-4 (SGT) …Buck SGT.  Came back in after 18 yrs break in USAF Reserve “2S” and then cross-trained to AFSC “2G” Logistics Planner and retired after 23 yrs.  I loved it….if I could …stay in pass 60 yrs old…I would.

 

From one Airman to another….thank you for your service and dedication…and hard work.  May the LORD bless you and your family and may HIS face always shine upon you!

They work like a slide rule and can calculate about anything an airman needs to know. Not sure they even teach them anymore.

Just a month ago I saw a kid stumbling around leaving for his first cross country solo. I was jokingly asking after he left but the instructor confirmed he had GPS and an iPhone with him. Really? How challenging is it to do a cross country following a pink line? What confidence does that build? It's getting ridiculously soft around here!
