[Vintage-Audio] Reel To Reel Deck Prices

[JM/CO]

Whereas you may get some opinions from members of the list, the ultimate
guide to the value of these machines would become evident after a perusal of
e-Bay listings for the past several months. Whatever ones opinion of e-Bay
might bay, it is definitely the "great equalizer" for values. My own guess
is that the Revox might be worth $75 to $100. The others are relatively
worthless. There are plenty of old R/R machines out there and relatively
little demand.
