Can someone give me the value of a RT-68

Post by pvtcook » Thu Mar 02, 2017 7:33 am

I found a couple of these for sale at a muesum but don't know what a fair price is on them. He said one was NOS. I would appreciate any help.

More than likely a depot rebuild not NOS.I would not give more than $100 for one.Maybe $125 for a depot rebuild.

Yeah Brian I feel there will be eventually. Probably would be a good idea to buy any you can if it's cheap.

WWII gear was used in the Korean War as most of the new family of radios never got to Korea during the war.
