Greetings all,

I'm trying to determine what a 515 in less than stellar condition is worth. 
While I am of the understanding that the 515s are somewhat of interest due to 
the limited production numbers, I'm not so sure about this one as it 
unfortunately wasn't treated well by a previous owner. There are some 
noticeable scratches and scrapes on the top cover along with a few smaller 
ones on the front panel. It also has several non-original knobs, and it 
appears to have kept company with that "eevl tebaccy" character.

It is operational as far as I know but 1) needs to have the dial cord replaced 
(PTO seems OK), and 2) the resonate control won't stay in place and slips 
back to the 3.5 position.

Any suggestions on value?

TNX/73, Al
