..... Any ideas what a fair price might be? Thanks.
.... Several years ago, I bought my TCS-12 system with the tuner, control box, and manual all in excellent/working condition and with matching serial numbers. There were, however, no cables nor power supply. I paid $525 for the system.... FWIW (not much, but I can't resist bragging), in about 1969 I purchased NINETEEN brand-new TCS-13 sets from DoD surplus sales in California for $10.51 EACH. Each part was wrapped in a multi-layer desicant-inside "sack" and they were all in a large (roughly 2x2x4 feet? It's been a long time, but my kids built really-nice "forts" out of them!) wooden box with ALL accessories except power supply: two sets of cables, control box, two keys, two mics, tuner, a bunch of spare parts such as cable sockets, mounting plates, and I don't remember what else. I sold 17 of them and still have two (although I haven't turned them on for so long that I'm afraid they my not work any longer. I later bought noise limiter kits for each and one dynamotor set just so I could say I had operated using a dynamotor! Ham radio is FUN and it's been good to me. But boy!
