> Just what IS a realistic price for an early Orion, no tuner, no
hardware updates, no blemishes?
newer orions with tuner, some/all filters, excellent condition, boxes,
etc., have done pretty well lately at $2899 and $3000 - but don't
forget the ebay commission and paypal commission if you take a credit
card. you'll have to deduct for not having the tuner or filters, and
realize that also limits the appeal/market. i'd guess $2200 to $2400
if you are patient, but prices are very volatile in such a limited
resale market.

not sell at $2501 with one filter, tuner not specified but seller
appears to be a wheeler dealer type and that would reduce my interest
quickly
