[Boatanchors] Ranger I Value

[Rob Atkinson]

It depends ENTIRELY on what kind of shape they're in.  Basket case for
parts $100 or less.  I've seen K1TLI restored Rangers and time capsule
Rangers that sat in uncie's closet untouched for 60 years go for
insane high money, $900 roughly.   If it's an operating shack rig
these days, maybe 300 bucks.  If it is for a museum owner and exhibit
quality then it's up there with the crazy Navigator money.  You should
also get into them to see what if any mods were done, and also find
out  if they are early models or the later ones with the grid block
keying and PTT added.  I think there were 3 Ranger One generations but
I don't remember the distinctions.
