Guys, 
(I should mention I know absolutely nothing about Motorolas. This is
what I was told By P.O Any errors are due to pure ignorance ;-])

 I have 4 Ea. Master ll xceivers, two control panels, two mikes, a box
full of wiring harnesses, and a bunch of documentation. The P.O. was
going to convert these into a 6M and a UHF remote base.
There are two good units. A UHF (450??MHz) and a low band VHF (40??MHz.)
Both have been classified as "good spares."
 One of the other units has a tag which says "No squelch. No receive. In
use during lightening strike." I assume it is only good for parts.
 The other unit has a tag which says "Low receive sensitivity." I
understand this is a known and easily repaired problem requiring a
cleaning of a cavity??
I would like to sell all as apackage but have no idea of a fair value.
So I am asking your advice on a price for the whole package.
Thanks
Chuck
