    Question Any Vintage Test Equipment Experts Around?

    I have about 20-25 different vintage test equipment available and am trying to get information regarding them. So if there is anyone out there that has any experience in this field or can point me in the right direction, I appreciate it.

    Here is a short list of what I seen from the front of the pile.



    Sencore FS134 Field Strength Meter
    Hitachi V-302B Oscilloscope 30MHZ
    A RCA Auto Focus Camcorder July 1985 is Manufacture Date
    Sencore SG165 AM-FM Stereo Analyzer
    CompU Video SVR-1100A Waveform/Vectroscope/ Oscilloscope
    Motorola Maxar Radio KBP 584 (Have 10x of these)
    Helper Instruments Toner T201
    B&K 415 Solid State Sweep/Marker Generator
    Sencore VA48 Speed Test TV/VTR/MATV and Video Analyzer
    EICO Model 368 TV-FM Sweep Generator and Marker
    BTS MBS-AA Microprocessor System Antenna Activator
    REM CRU-1 Recovery Unit and CRT Tester
    Sencore CR168 Universal CRT Tester Big Mack
    EIRI 67826 Video Player

    This is just a few that I found and wrote down out of them all, If I had to guess these are around 50-70 era, hopefully someone knows more about this stuff then I Do. I appreciate any help at all.

    Thanks in advance,
    Brock101

    lots of people know lots more about it than you and me both, and, they will sometimes(all too often) take every advantage of that fact
    Your best option is to type those names and numbers into a google search and see for yourself what they are asking/selling them for. Ebay completed listings are the best, although not the only, gauge of this. You will likely find your best offers by simply placing them on a well thought out, and planned, series of ebay auctions. The more listings you place with this type of item, the more regular "watchers" you will notice, and with that point in mind, you might wish to start with what you've found to be the "lesser" of your items, gradually working your way up to the best of them over time, after you've begun to build a "following" of your auctions

    I used to sell both Sencore and B&K back in the late 70's and early 80's, and Sencore was considered the best with B&K right behind. Everything you have listed should have a decent retail value (more than scrap), other than the camcorder and video player.

    Good Luck...

    I appreciate this, I guess I will turn to EBay and see what I can find out, I seen other websites selling such merchandise for "to good to be true prices" like 2-3 grand for some, didnt want to get sniped out on something possibly valuable because of lack of knowledge, reason why I posted here to get insight from you great fellows .

    Thanks again,
    Brock

    When checking E-bay, don't look at what people are asking, find the completed sales list and that is your true value on the open market.
