It's easier for most readers when the URL is given:

And containing within, no doubt, typical ham "improvements".

Those three A.R.C. 6743 local tuning controls are all together worth perhaps $75 on eBay.

It obviously is NOT.  The entire junction box in the rear of the FT-220-A has been removed.  The rack is worthless.

However, there appears to be a FT-221-A shock mount under the rack.  There's little that even hams could do to mess that up.  That might bring $100 on eBay.

Other than those mechanical items the assembly is without any historical value, and IMHO there is no monetary value outside the cited parts, unless one needs receiver parts that *may* have survived intact.
