Understanding the market
Half of recorded transactions fall between $29 and $988. The full observed range is unusually wide — the highest recorded price is 106.8× the lowest. A spread that wide usually means the recorded sales are not strictly comparable: different configurations or finishes, units sold for parts or with cosmetic damage, or listings where the model name is shared across more than one variant. Treat the middle range as the useful signal and the extremes as outliers worth investigating before you price against them.
Over the last twelve months this model averaged $1,210 across 3 recorded sales, 10% higher than the preceding twelve months.
What buyers should know
Vintage receivers are usually sold as-is. Ask directly whether the unit has been recapped, whether the lamps and switches work, and whether all inputs and the tuner section have been tested. Original wood cases and faceplates in good condition carry a real premium.
This range reflects 24 recorded sales, compiled from publicly listed and completed sales elsewhere on the used market, not from HiFi Registry transactions. That is a large enough sample to price against with reasonable confidence, though condition and provenance still move individual units.
