Part 5/7:
The collector discusses some of the equipment’s market value, referencing items listed on eBay. For example, faceplates alone for certain radios are selling for thousands of dollars, although they express skepticism about such prices, pointing out that many vintage units can be bought complete for a few hundred dollars. There is a tone of frustration with inflated prices and the niche collector’s market, which sometimes makes acquiring and restoring these pieces challenging.
