[Amps] Value of a fully upgraded SB220?

[Bryan Swadener]

Circa 1975, I paid only $275 for mine when I worked for 
Dick Aspinwall (Amateur Radio Supply Co, Seattle). 
 
It was tough to NOT spend all of my measly paycheck 
on radio equipment & 'electronical' parts. ;-)

As near as I can tell, SB-220's go for about $500 in working condition, less if they need maintenance.  One in really superb condition with all upgrades might go for $600.  $500 seems to be typical.

I paid $500 for mine.  It appeared to be in working condition with soft-start and soft-key, but the PS caps were still original and the soft-key wasn't keying properly.  I put nearly $200 into it to get everything to a good place..
