Does anyone in the group have any idea of what an Eddystone dial, Model
898, is worth. I bought a new one, along with the parts for the Ted
Crosby HBR receiver many years ago, but never got around to building
it. The XYL is pushing me to downsize and I need to start somewhere. I
may have an interested party, but can list it on e-Bay if this falls
through. I'd like to get some idea of where to start.

If you have all the parts, I'd be interested in them all. I have lots
of dials, but would like to recreate the HBR receiver I built in the
early 60's.

As for the dial, expect about 30-50 dollars. You might do better, but
most fall in that range.

If you are referring to the slide rule dial they are now as rare
as hen's teeth. I had one in the junk box that I found at a flea
market years ago but never used it. I put it up on ebay and was
a bit surprised to get over $100 for it. These dials are prized
by HBR builders! Millen also made a few sliderule dials, one
used a toothed belt to drive the pointer.
