Can we check your trash can when you do your scrapping?
I guess but I am hoping to avoid throwing away anything of value.
Can we check your trash can when you do your scrapping?
Almost everything you've posted has probably taken you a long time to do.
What I would do, is go through your inventory, and write down the following information on each instrument:
1) Name of the MANUFACTURER
2) The MODEL NUMBER of each instrument.
You can share the data with us if you want to for our input, or to ask questions about particular units, but the
manufacturer name and model number will be enough for us to search on the internet, without having to post
a picture of each item.
As suggested, you will be able to sell a lot of this by listing the items on eBay or Craigslist.
One other thing: You mentioned something about a possible XRay machine. I wouldn't plug that in, as if it
is defective or was partially disassembled, radiation emissions could be dangerous (disregard that if what you
thought was an XRay machine was the Oscilliscope somebody already ID'd for you here).
Don't be worried about asking us anything about what you're finding there, we'll be happy to help answer
questions about them.
Sorry about your dad. Most of the guys I knew there with us, are gone as well.
Besides our kids, you're dealing with the other evidence of our being here, right now. You'll get frustrated with this, but don't get mad at us for hoarding all this stuff. It made us happy to have it.
Thank you.We'll have responses, we just need time to work this. What I'll do is start Googleing some of the instruments and
try to give you an idea of what to ask for price-wise on eBay (and let potential buyers bid from there).
Don't expect some windfall in profits here, but you should be able to get money out of all this work.
This is what I found. Most of these CLAIM to be in working order.
If you list these on eBay, it'll help if you have any cables, probes, accessories, manuals listed in the description.
B&K 15MHz Scope 11482C $60-$100 starting bid on eBay
Sencore Video Analyzer (you'll need the model #) $85 start bid
Sencore SC61 $80 - $250 start bid
Squier Fender PR345 $30-$75 start bid
Sencore VC93 $75-$150 start bid
JVC BR-S811U $110 start bid ($416 new)
Dual Loco Xformer $30 start bid (this would be for car/train model hobbyists, and in good condition will be in demand)
Uniden BCT-23 $35 start bid
Channel Master 3201 $14 start bid
B&K 1248 $20-$25 start bid
Heathkit IT-5230 $100-$250 start bid
B&K 470 $80-$100 start bid
American Flyer 22030 $30 start bid (another hobbyist unit that would be in demand if in good condition)
Heathkit RF Sig Gen (you'll need Model #) $35-$60 start bid
Since you don't know if any of them work, I'd start with a low initial bid price so everyone will look at your item.
Most of these instruments are for fixing other instruments, so most anybody who buys them will know how to
fix them if they don't work, and will buy them if they feel the need for them.
Sorry you don't have any really big-ticket items. But you might want to try selling what big names like Sencore and
B&K that people look for. Another idea, would be to bundle a few items together as a lot sale.
Good luck with whatever you try to do. (Make sure you specify that whoever buys them will have to pay the shipping
costs, as they will be pricey to ship).
Good luck with the chore of listing your items and success in potential sales.
I've got every 'A'- grade paper my kids did from grade-school thru HS.
I use 'em to show my grandkids how smart their moms and dads were when they were in school.
Embarrasses my kids maybe, but us dads did and do care.
I remember when the first VCR's came out, they were open-reel types.
I doubt somebody would pay to ship your old, heavy one, so it probably wouldn't sell;
but a picture would bring back old memories. When those first open-reel VCR's came out in the 1970's,
they were over $1,000 each.
Some kind of navigation equipment?
Appears to be an older shortwave radio (multi band). . . You would need to power up to see if it is functional. It should have both an AM & FM band that could receive; the short wave bands would be a bit problematic without an antenna
