I still say the same, but I'm surprised it didn't move already. Unbuilt
kits from out-of-business companies, even volt meters, have gone for
astronomical values.
To most of us, there is the utility and even nostalgia value added in. I
*sometimes* pay a bit more for a nice piece of Hallicrafter's gear, or
rather did. Now I just have too many projects and can't keep up. To a
true collector though, the rarity (unbuilt in this case) and being
*untouched* is what makes it valuable.
I'd bet that kit on e-bay would bring *more* than the $1600, but you
never know.
SX115s hit a high of over $4,000 USD for one in almost like new shape.
OF course that was at the peak of the Dot Com Boom, right before the Dot
Com Bust when *almost* every one had money.
