That's buy it now price (if your really nuts) - bid is only $280 - it's worth about $800 It's in pretty good shape - most worn units have the PLATE - GRID lettering below the meter partially worn off. Pretty expensive for a CW ONLY xmitr - Consider that J Viking only made 800 of these and they never did sell very many of them. A better rig would be the Drake 2NT, Heath DX-60B or a even a KNIGHT T-60 xmitr - No built in VFO but XTALS are kinda fun and they are pretty cheap even on eBay. - Biz WDØHCO $1185????? And it's not even in mint condx! Dream on. Jeez, I thought this was supposed to be a hobby. Greed hath no limits... Doug |

I've watched these auctions for a few items. I guess there are people out there with money coming out of their ears and don't care what a fair price is and get "the fever" that they _have to_ have the thing. Or, the shill system is the new way to make money. All this made me make the decision to just go totally for building all homebrew gear, in my present retirement, for my station for the future. And, if I don't like the price at the hamfest, I'll just pass the stuff by. |

If it was MINT condition, all restored, etc, it MIGHT be worth $500-700, due to scarcity, but the auction even states it is not in mint condition. Worth about $250-350, again, only because of scarcity. |
