most of my radio heads were in $25 + ship $15 range. The only expense is 
the dam connectors
my wire wrap prototype cost me less that $40.00 in part & spares from 
Avnet.
The one card handles up to 5 heads, (could do lots more with expander) 
It has 2 8 bit ports one for input (select) the other for data (goes 
both ways, as you have to read switches, power, and write (turn on) dial 
lights, etc., volume controls 3 wires each head goes to my amps for 
simulated radios, and simulated NAV morse code depending on the slant 
range to the radio. plus the NAV radios have to out put signals to drive 
your LSI, HSI, and ADI. (see more
