Its hard to say what any rig is worth, as there are ebay prices, ham to ham
prices,
friend to friend prices, etc.
I have seen ebay prices go crazy on some stuff.
Ebay always gets top price it seems.
I paid $20.00 for a viking II, and used it for parts, about 20 years ago.
I think you can get a DX100 for about $200.00 and it has a vfo built in.
The B+W 5100 was a good low cost rig in the past, a well made rig...
The Collins 32V series rigs are very nice, I sold one a few years ago for
$250.00, in like new shape, someone I talked with on the air got it for that
price, on ebay I could have got $1000.00....

Subject: [AMRadio] need advise
Hello,
After being out of AM for years, I've decided to get back into it. I've
listened to the AM hot spots on various bands and find it to be a “well
behaved crowd” with a bunch of knowledgeable, good ops. Brings back
memories of the “good old days.” I bet that most us wished we had kept
our old globe 500’s, knight t-150’s, dx-100’s, etc. Remember when we
couldn't give the stuff away?
I really need some advise. After the initial “sticker shock” wore off, I
may have found a Viking II with 122 vfo. It seems to be a factory wired
model; the appearance is about a 4 out of 10; no ‘apparent’ modifications;
will load to approximately 80 watts cw on lower bands, much less on 20,
nothing on 15 or 10; couldn't test modulation (no mic & no receiver) and
the bottom rubber feet are missing. What is a reasonable price range for
something like this?
Thanks in advance for your words of wisdom,
Steve
