[Vintage-Audio] Reel To Reel Deck Prices

Ouch! You can not buy the Revox ten inch hubs for $75!	

There may be lots of machines out there Chuck, but most of them do not work or
need repairs. Thank you just the same.	

I don't mess with the electronic auction because they are in violation of the
ADA (Aid To Disabled Americans) law which requires them, and other corporate
entities, to make their web sites useable by the handicapped. The National
Federation of The Blind Inc., NFB, filed litigation against AOL for such
violations and won. Hence, using a screen reading software program is useless on
the Bay of E site.

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.
