[Drake] C-Line for Sale; High Serial Numbers

[Cecil Acuff]

I have two "C" line sets in nice shape and was going to go through and do 
full restorations and list one of them for sale but found they really aren't 
worth that much.  The "E" site, which is usually accused of causing things 
to sell for way more than what most are used to paying is not getting much 
for them either.  Actually the "B" lines are selling for more at times.

No mention of whether from a smoking or non-smoking environment.  When was 
last retube of receiver...alignment of receiver?  Mods?  Filter caps in AC4? 
Sounds like the receiver is in need of attention.

There are so many things that play into the value of the radio's besides 
original sales receipts and boxes.....those are nice to have I guess.

Just my humble opinion
