Let's think about it.

1.) You can not easily get tubes any longer

2.) The amps are terribly unstable on ten meters because the 
"designer" directly copied the Bill Orr Handbook where the 
cathodes are tied to the control grids.

3.) The tuned inputs and tanks were virtually never right.

4.) You can't get some of the small parts like electrolytics any 
longer, so you have to patch in other parts that don't quite fit.

5.) They were only 400 watt amplifiers with generally short tube life 
anyway.

Outside of collector demand, it seems to me they are worth nearly 
zero dollars
