[ARC5] Approximate Valuation of some ARC-5 Sets

[Michael Bittner]

These are prices I've copied off eBay this past year for receivers only. 
The lowest price one had a homebrew AC supply.  Most of the middle price 
ones had no dynamotors.  The highest price one was mint in original box with 
dynamotor:

$21.51, $103.50, $117.50, $159.38, 172.50, $177.50, $234.50, $242.50, 
$280.00, $371.00, $521.00.

Go figure!  Mike W6MAB
