I have a single set of Amplifone boards and harness that were professionally rebuilt.

I also have two New Old Stock 19" tubes in the carton, complete with blue plastic protective film.

What do you think they worth separately?
 
Just to be clear, I'm not looking to sell these items just yet.

more like I'm trying to figure out a value to see if it's worth it to sell

how many NOS amp tubes are left in the USA?

Probably just the 2 you have. If they are true nos $1500-$2000 to be put in museum.

you think the NOS tubes are worth $1500 to $2000 each ?


how much is the typical used amplifone monitor going for now?

I mean the entire functioning unit, tube, bracket, boards and harness.

True nos, I mean stone cold proof that they are nos and in box has probably not been seen in decades. Then yeah $2K+. They would go to someone that would probably keep it nos as part of the collection. I know I would not install it and I have a really nice Star Wars.
 
I'm confused.

I have three items

1. A used but rebuilt Amplifone monitor with all the parts. Except the tube.

2. A NOS amp tube

3. Another NOS amp tube


So what are we looking at for value?

1. $1500 if I get a used tube for it.

2. $1500

3. $1500

Total = $4500


Yes? No?

All opinions are welcome.

#1 is a bit high, but yes, you're on the right track. I just have a real tough time believing you have two brand new Rauland tubes with Amp yokes on them in the box. Bare tubes, maybe, but if you don't have 3 yokes, you've got a problem. No one's gonna want to converge the NOS tubes after fitting a yoke. Or I should say, it's a real pain in the ass to do so.

Pics please
 
The amplifone has everything, yoke, harness, PCB boards, bracket

It's one complete amp setup and two NOS tubes



I think most folks were confused by 'one complete Amp setup', meaning it included the tube. (I'll admit I was as well, so thanks for clarifying).

As for my 2 cents, I'd say $750-800 for the full setup with no tube. ($250 per board, plus $250 for the yoke, if all have been rebuilt and tested). Personally I think $1k is on the low side for a complete Amp. Yes, they've sold for that, but I think the market can go higher.

The tubes I'm not as sure on. What model tubes are they? There are multiple tubes that can be used with Amps, so perhaps one could argue they aren't as rare as 6100 tubes (which I've sold several of for $350 each, recently). But the fact that they're NOS partly makes up for that. You you should provide the model numbers though, as med vs low res will affect the value.

If you want to sell them, post them for higher than what you think, and come down weekly until they sell. That's really the best way to figure out what the market is willing to pay.
 
the amp hardware is not worth that much. It would be about $750-$1000 assuming you have the yoke and rings.

the tubes are worth $1k-$1500. I don't think they are worth that much, but I would not be surprised if someone would pay towards the top end.

also do you have the mounting bars for the amp tube? Those would have added value.

Don't be so surprised, gentlemen. Less than a single decade ago, there were literal PALLETS of these things found and sold. HUNDREDS of NOS Amplifones were sold into the hobby, most of them with the coveted yokes and rings installed. I remember watching the last ones sell, thinking people were nuts to pay nearly $200 each for them :eek: I suspect that more than half of those are still untouched/hoarded away by our users.
