I have long since realised that very often an item of equipment is worth a lot more for its parts than the price the complete item will fetch. I've bought numerous things on this basis, but then when it arrives I haven't the heart to break it up! I have a beautiful but useless (to me) Admiralty Pulse Generator I bought for peanuts, full of valuable components.
What is an AR88 worth? Maybe of the order of £100? Someone was selling parts on ebay recently, and I deduced he had dismantled a complete Rx for the parts. Out of interest I noted the prices fetched over the few days of the auction - they totalled just under £500. Even if you put a price on the time taken to carefully dismantle, that is a handsome profit!
I have two spare tatty AR88s - should I dismantle them?
