[ARC5] BC-348R - fair price?

[Joe Connor]

 Up here in New Jersey, most seem to sell for less than $100 on the hamfest circuit. However, the price goes up if it has a shock mount, the original dynamator and/or no obvious modifications, but it's unusual to see one in such pristine condition. 
I'm working on one now that is so heavily modified I call it the BC-348-WTF. I bought it 15 years ago because I could not believe that any BC-348 had been that heavily modified. It was so ugly that it was cool. I came to my senses when I got home, and I let it sit until this week. With new filter caps, the damned thing played and performed remarkably well. The guy who did these mods actually knew what he was doing.

  Prices are a lot cheaper here in Texas. I have four BC-348s. Two are unmodified with dynamotors. I paid $35 for one and $50 for the other. One with no power supply for $35 and one painted gray with AC supply and S meter for $10. It amazes me what they seem to be selling for on the bay.

   Those are about double Washington and Oregon hamfest selling prices for a BC-348/ 224.   -Hue Miller   ______________________________________________________________   ARC5 mailing list   Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/arc5
