Good buddy has another option: buy old soviet hardwares: In the sixties they 
have produced an entire generation of mini radio tubes. When the West rushed 
on transistors and integrated circuits, they was busy making progress on a 
1907 technology! They was not stupid: In a nuclear exchange any solid state 
electronics would be roasted by the EMP effect but old fashioned electronics 
device would survive.  Hope "Good Buddy" will help to save this technology 
:-).
