Its not old. My friend who passed away owned one and it worked good for him. They had a habit of screws coming loose and causing major issues.
If it works properly i think $500-$600 is a fair price. Do not ship with the tubes in it.
Draw a map of the sockets, mark the front of the unit then number the sockets. Pull the tubes and number those too so they can be put back where they belong. Mark the package you put the tubes in not the tubes themselves and ship them separately.
You looking to sell? I may be interested.
Please advise me to what is a good replacement mic for my SR-497HPC... Answer: 497 is "wired like Cobra", so many choices available. That radio does not need a power mic, so purchase a stock "coffin style" mic with a decent cord, like the ones that Astatic uses. The Superstar DM-507 is my go-to. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3050474478...adANq91JSiEEnz8EGqPJRBloTgEyaVsBoCtoMQAvD_BwE $12.99 + .99 cent shipping.
