I have four of them. They were used on various DXpeditions, and were
invaluable during simultaneous use of two transmitters. I gave two away and
still have the other two. Original price was greater than $400 (cannot recall
actual price). These units have a serious limitation when used with high VSWR
antennas (such as multi-band verticals and dipoles). Running more that 100
watts will blow the network caps. All of my 419's have been repaired several
times, and I keep replacement caps on hand. I found a fix for the 10 meter
network that allows operation up to 200 watts even with high VSWR.
I would ask at least $300.

Not much -- it's a poor design, under-designed for power, easily blown
up, hard to repair. Here's a report I prepared for National Contest
Journal after measuring all those I could get my hands on from NCCC members.
