Audio Equipment

[SchmittZoid]

I'll put up some pics later. My biggest problem that I'm having is valuing the stuff. My brother put one up some where (I think Redit) and someone told him between $500-$5000. That's to big of a gap for me. I've got some other feeler's out just trying to find some kind of a value on these things has been difficult. I'm pretty confident that I can sell it, just don't know for how much. Don't want to get screwed nor do I want to screw anybody. I think that this will take someone with a good bit of knowledge on the equipment.

Forgot to quote this in my reply above.

The two Shures are popular in the broadcast world, but pretty old. There are folks who collect all of the variations of that little 260 series. Worth anywhere from $30 on up, depending on the rarity and condition.

The Soundcraft looks a little long in the tooth and probably needs a full recap, making it not worth much especially if any of the pots are scratchy.

You can get a new Mackie 1402 VLZ4 around $400. If all the channels work and there are no scratchy pots, that one's worth maybe half that.

The Soundcraft would be intriguing to old rockers (like me). $600 might be possible IF it were pristine and fully functional. I see a bit of foam rot that has fallen on it from the case. That foam tends to get a microscopic parasite that eats it and turns it into mush (crap) after about 10 or 15 years or so. You'll want to get that foam out of the case and away from the equipment. You can tell it's beyond its service life if you push on it and it does not return to its original position / shape.

The Nagra and Shure's look like they were from pre-digital news gathering crew. You might want to find an NAB (National Association of Broadcasters) discussion board to list those. Might be some nostalgic interest from some of the old timers. I would have no idea the value, but the Nagra wasn't cheap. Might be worth a couple hundred, or a grand . . . . .

That silver face Shure mixer is most likely a throw away. It looks like the model where Shure was using non-standard input/output connectors so you would have to buy their cables or build your own. A real piece of crap. If the inputs are MALE, it is worthless. If the inputs are FEMALE, might be worth $20 to the right individual. The others are still serviceable and might have some value to an old NAB guy.

Hope that helps.

Most of the stuff l know little about. But l do know that l found the nagra on ebay for $4500. I don't know if the condition is comparable or not though. I know my dad took good care of this stuff but technology changes fast. Thanks for the info. I'll try to go through and clean everything up. The foam is deffinatly shot.

These do vary wildly, with the WWII vintage and stereo recorders bringing more interest. The standard monaural news gathering models are still desirable, but don't bring nearly the coin.

Here is a link for you to eBay Nagra recorders that actually SOLD, and how much they sold for. I cannot make out the model of yours. Perhaps this is a good link to start with.

I sell on eBay regularly and used to do some audio engineering/"beat making" in college. First thing to keep in mind that I can't remember the exact % for audio equipment, but eBay will take their 8-15%. PayPal takes theirs, plus shipping prices depending on which part of the country you have to send it off to. Some of these big items can be a massive butt pain to ship out. Positive is for you that a lot of us (I'm still a hobbyist I guess) love using the older equipment, and you'll have people from all types of music interested in purchasing it for their needs.

The Nagra looks like an IS-V from your photograph. Depending on condition I'm going to say $1000-2000ish. You do have a carrying case, and if it is factory, it could add some additional value. Generic case won't mean booty most of the time though. The Shure FP32A is worth ~$150-200, I would put it on the lower end because of the cosmetic condition. The Soundcraft is several hundred if it's working but it's going to be a pain to ship, and if I had it, I'd try selling it locally first to avoid the headache. One of those AIM power supplies have sold on eBay recently (http://www.ebay.com/itm/AIM-DC-Powe...536097?hash=item19f19944e1:g:8GMAAOSwVFlT4ANM). The vintage Jensen amp might be worth 10-20 from what I can see in your picture. This is your other Shure (http://www.ebay.com/itm/SHURE-MODEL...351798?hash=item4af6180f36:g:EUUAAOSwSHZWehmO). I'd need the model on the Mackie but it looks like one of the lower-end models, so anywhere from $100-300ish.

If I were selling these things on eBay, without having inspected everything in person or having detailed pictures to go off of, I'd put $2500 OBO on the Nagra if it's the model I think it is from the pictures, $200 OBO on the Shure FP32A, $75 OBO on the AIM, and $40 shipped for the Shure M67. The mixers I honestly would try to sell locally at first, but would have to do more research on both of them to give you an online figure.

Hope that helps.

That's great info. Thanks
