Motorola HT200

Is this worth selling on E-bay for parts or need repair. The only reason I am saying that was just because it was tuned, aligned about 10 years ago 155.295 with a digital PL board for 110.9. Its been sitting aboard on a shelf. I have the original charger. Original battery died. I had two 9 volt battery connectors soldered to the battery terminal just to power the received to use as a monitor. I would not even known what price to post it foe. Thx you. I would say well used condition.

Worked in a Motorola 2-way shop in the early 70s. That model was being replaced by the HT-220. We called the 200 "the brick". Got one cheap because it had been dropped in a puddle in a coal mine. Cleaned it up, put in ham crystals, used it for years.

No idea just who would want one. Found a couple of them on Ebay.

Thanks, I had bought a box of them years ago and had this one recrystallized for our local EMS frequency. The tech that did it had actually worked for Motorola;a in 1960s and 1970s. I wanted it a curiosity piece. Had always hoped to find the battery. Got board one day and figured out that two 9 volts should be able to run the receive side. Decided to use it as a monitor. Will just put it up on E-bay and hope a HAM that needs it for part or just the charger picks it up.
