[Milsurplus] ART-13 value ?

[Ray Fantini]

ART-13 have value beyond the Mill Radio market as they are also used by Hams wanting to run Old School AM, but they are big and would be hard to ship. Think under the circumstances I would pay maybe $50 each. They do sell for more at fest but packing and shipping is a real issue, things like the HRO stuff has the advantage of being able to be separated into separate boxes and shipped that way. I know this will probably piss off all those people who have ART-13 transmitters with power supplies and figure they are worth $500 to a $1,000 but I have seen them selling for anywhere between $100 to $250 at places like Hamvention so if it were me under the circumstances I would give them as little as possible because every aspect of picking up, loading, packaging and shipping will be expensive on a big radio like that.
If they were junk ART-13 in some ways that's less of an issue. Then you can pull the audio deck and sell that, the T/R relay, the 813 and 811 tubes and the modulation transformer. The knobs are also something people will buy and all those parts would be easy to ship and sell on eBay. The thing is you can generate more money from parting the radio out and avoid the issues of trying to ship something that big, but don't know about you but I would not have the hart to gut a good ART-13
