Do these have any value anymore? The Texas Star has Toshiba pills and the Stryker has the original box and 2 Astatic mic's one has a broken spring in the push to talk button. I will look around I thought I still had the original mic somewhere as well but not sure anymore been years.

The original Toshiba transistors in the 500 are worth a substantial amount of money these days.
I see 500's on different groups for anywhere from$300-550 range depending on what they look like.
Your example looks fairly clean inside, and built when the quality was a little better than the latest ones.
I would just gently run it......
Doubtful your ever find another one that clean on the inside.

I am not sure what it is worth, it has two small cosmetic issues the power know is missing as you can see in the picture and the left side at the front the case has a small ding in it which being metal can be fixed easily. I have not ran it in many years but last time I did it ran fine so I will try and get some power in it this week and see if it is still in working order.
