[Hallicrafters] HALLICRAFTERS FPM-300

<<  Got a line on an FPM-300 - rumored to be nice, with only a couple 
scratches, works.  What are these valued at, or perhaps I should say - what should I 
pay for one described as such?  >>

If it is in good cosmetic shape and working on all bands with full power, 
figure $300.00 and up. The MK III is about $50.00 higher. Be sure that it works 
at both input voltages The sweep tube in the final is now selling in the 
vicinity of $30 to $40 and they are getting difficult to find.  Newly manufactured 
band switch belts are available for around $10.00. If the rig has the original 
belt, figure on replacing it soon or at least get a spare to have on hand. 
These rigs are difficult to work on, definately not for the unskilled technician. 
 Consider that when purchasing a non or poorly operating rig.
