[Hallicrafters] Value of a restored SX-28?

[KB9GKC at aol.com]

Hello Doug,
 
I bought an exceptional all original SX-28 all recapped and aligned with  
the matching speaker for $850.00 two years ago in Milwaukee WI.
 
In some cases I have heard that a restored SX-28 going for around $2,000  
but that was during the Great Prosperity when jobs and loans were plentiful. 
 
73 from Green Bay,
 
Douglas

Hello  everyone,

I am new to this list and Hallicrafters  equipment.  I know a fair
amount about Heathkit but am just learning  about Hallicrafters.
Unfortunately, one of my first tasks is to put a fair  market value on a
radio from the estate of a good friend.  Wayne,  W4GBW, restored an SX-28
radio to what I consider gorgeous condition.   He spent several years on the
project and the quality of his work is  exceptional.

Sadly, we are now disposing of Wayne's gear  for his heirs.  They have
little interest in the equipment.  Can  the Hallicrafters fans here give me
at least a ballpark estimate of the  value of a beautiful, working SX-28?
Unfortunately, the radio is about two  hours away right now so I will not be
able to send any photos and I don't  know enough to answer any specific
questions tonight.

If anyone will be at the Melbourne, Florida hamfest on Saturday,  please
stop by and take a look at the radio.  I will be right inside  the main 
doors
and the table will be covered with Heathkit and other  vintage equipment.
Thanks very much.



Doug   W4DAS
