[Johnson] Ranger prices?

[Carl]

I recently picked up a very clean one except for many top of cabinet 
scratches for $125 asking price locally. I didnt get beyond the Variac and 
basic tests but it looks like an easy restore when I get around to it.

A near mint factory wired one at Nearfest in Oct went for $250 with manual 
and a box of parts for a Valiant. It was supposedly completely overhauled. A 
rough looking one at another table went home with somebody for $75....seller 
looked and talked like a CBer.
