Well, I have some input on this.  
 
I have sold some 33's on ebay with the prices varying from  $400 for the 
nicest one I ever had, just like new, to the $3k one that some  may remember.  
 
I have also restored quite a few for various  folks.
 
I have one commercial customer left, a mom and  pop machine shop in 
Sunapee, NH.  In the 1980's I believe I had about 120  or so machines around 
Vermont and NH.  A few in NY, MA and CT as  well.  
 
The 33 market has been a life saver for me as my  retirement income is not 
quite enough to get by on.  
 
Of course when I sell a 33 I usually put the new owner onto  Greenkeys.
 
Greenkeys is a great group where we sell cheaply or  give stuff away to 
other members but I just wanted to put in my 2 cents worth  on what the 33 
market means to me. 
 
Thanks to all on Greenkeys who help with parts, especially  the plastic 
ones, that make it possible to do the work I do.   

73,
 
Wayne
