I have been asked to help the daughter of a silent key (W7ZZV) liquidate her father's gear. I have some pictures of the tower at:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/w2o5eeo7l6uwos3/AAAfQZRvgBewZKgRWMVbVi96a?dl=0
of a tower that says "Short Bott 40) at the bottom. The tower is not tubular but uses heavy sheetmetal and appears to be about 25ft tall (as a guess). It currently has a commercial vhf/uhf JPole on it.
Can someone help me with a value for the tower and where it might be listed?
The silent key also had a CDE AR22 (tv) rotor and control head that just came back from Norm the rotor doctor. The silent key had a tag on the rotor that said it should be worth $50. I suspect he spent that much getting it fixed. Can someone give me an idea what that rotor with control head and some 4 conductor cable would be worth?
He also had what appears to be a 5 element Radio Shack TV antenna that has been converted to vhf ham band per an article in one of the magazines. There is also a push up mast that is 2 section.
Thank you for your help.
