If it is truly mint with a full set of accessories (headsets, variometer,
control box. cables, swachel, carrier) it might be worth as much as $1000 to
$1200. The set and dynamotor routinely sell on eBay  for a few hundred. Some
accessories are quite rare in good condition (carrier).

Good luck with it. If you want to try powering it, contact me about how to do it
non-destructively.

Take care,
