Use this thread to get a “valuation” (or otherwise!) from Forumites on your aviation collectables, bit’s and treasures.
Starting off, here’s the BFP I got off eBay for £76 (minus the T&S). Now a contemporary vacuum T&S has been fitted, now What’s it Worth…??

Percival Proctor Mk1 – rebuild to flying. Price is a strange thing, its worth what someone is prepared to pay. A metal fitting that might fit my project may be worth nothing to someone without a proctor project, say $10 if I already have one and it is a non-wear item, and $300 if I am desperate to have one.
The instruments you have aren’t rare and I have some – hence the comment A$200 if they had a release tag and were recently overhauled, then the price would be significiently more. Basically I was prepared to speculate on them and I know people periodically are after things like that and I would have something to swap.
cheers

I know that if I was chasing the instruments for my project, I would value it at about A$200 per servicable instrument, as for the bare panel itself, I wouldn’t pay much say $10 because I wouldn’t want it.
so from what you say is serviceable at least A$600 – if its in Australia and you want to sell it, send me a PM I may be interested
I’m not selling it – it’ll be going into my collection. What is your project – I’m really interested!

are the instruments therein servicable?
I know the ASI, Altimeter and T&S are, not sure about the rest!
