I actually think they are about worthless based on the current radios available and the age unless you are just into vintage radios. What are you going to use it for? I had a 251A as my first two-meter rig for weak-signal work. It was deaf. It HAD to have an outboard preamp. None of this generation of radios were very sensitive based on the technology used at the time. I would say it might be a great radio for your repeater work.
