I sold mine with dynamotor,

shock mount,power cable,manual copy for $250.It had an intermittent BFO I could never figure out and I included a BFO chassis fron Fair in the deal too.Neat radio but I like the BC-348 better.

 nice looking but inop (blown fuse) example just sold on the Bay for $895.  
I lived in Venice CA during the 1980s and visited a junk store on Venice Blvd 
hat had a big stack of ARR 41s in unmodified cndx with dynamotors and mech 
ilters still inside. I think it was the remains of Arrow Electronics inventory. 
he price as $85 each which I thought was a bit high. The seller would not budge 
 penny on price unless I wanted to buy all of them. I passed. The store closed 
hortly after my visit. Wonder where they ended up?
A schoolmate of mine was good friends with the owner of JJ Glass, a surplus 
lectronics dealer in LA. We were treated like family when we visited the store 
nd I got 50% off on the few items I could afford to buy. Too bad I was on a 
tudent budget back then. JJ Glass too closed soon after my visit.
Saw a nice original ARR 41 installation in the Navy (WV1?) Super Connie that is 
n display at the old Chanute AFB in Rantoul Illinois. I have a photo of it 
omewhere and will post it when I find it. The most amazing bit of gear on that 
onnie was a VACUUM TUBE INS (Inertial Nav System). I had no idea they existed.
