[Collins] 51S-1A Pricing info

[N1UDI at att.net]

I would like to request info regarding the pricing of the subject Collins receiver. I have 51S-1A winged emblem unit serial # 3356.  I would like to sell the radio and need info on a fair and average price. Not the prices seen on E-bay! This unit is a project radio. What is meant by that, there are some items that need fixing / replacement.  First the radio was brought back to life by replacing two crystals Y15 500Khz Bfo oscillator and Y17 17.5 Mhz oscillator. A few of tubes also were found to be not up par so they were replace also. There are no tube shields on any of the tubes. 

Now for the items that are needed the function switch  is broken and need to be replaced. I hot wired the switch to get power to the radio. There are no aluminum extension feet, no spinner knob / dial lock asm, no escutcheon, no clear plastic lens, no power cord. Made a power cord from and old octal tube socket. I was not going to pay $45 for one listed eleswere. The cabinet and plastic trim will need to be repainted. No rust or damage to the cabinet. The unit looks like it was siting in a warehouse for a log time. It was very dusty in side. The two crystals Y15 and Y17 will not come with the radio. They were just used  for problem isolation. Could not check out the 100Kc calibrator, don't have a 100Kc crystal.           


Thanks in advance for your assistance. Rock
