[Hallicrafters] HT-9

I don't know how Carl manages it but he has found more than a few bargains. Trying to estimate the value of an HT-9 can be a moving target as it depends not only on condition but whether or not all the coils are there. As Carl said they are also hard to ship due to size and weight and there is not a lot of demand for them either. Those two facts tend to hold prices down to lower than you might expect. I also have a pre-war black one and a post-war gray one and I think I paid around $200 each. In my experience anyway, it seems HT-9's rarely have all the coils with them for whatever reason. Most I have seen were found with a 10 meter tank coil plugged in and the others missing. Both of mine when discovered were also on 10 meters but the gray one did have all the other coils which is why I bought it. I think if you need HT-9 coils you will pretty much have to buy another HT-9 that has them, otherwise finding them can be a problem.
