Olson Tube Receiver

[Richard D]

Hello all, I have an Olson tube receiver that I bought several years ago and replaced all the output tubes and re capped it. The model is Ra-809 and never intended to sell it, however my situation has changed and I am wondering what it might be worth. There are four outputs tubes 6GW8. It is in good cosmetic condition as well. It also has a tube flouresent type tuning bar.
Thank's
Richard.
PLEASE SOMEONE, ANY IDEA???:scratch2:

Google Olson Ra-809, saw a couple threads, and an auction bringing about $50 or so.

Thank's for your time Ed. I think I only spent around $65.00 for parts plus about 6 hours of my time. I am going to keep it. The fact that Irving Olson himself at 93 years old helped me get some road maps for it is worth more to me than the receiver itself. I loved Olson Electronics growing up in the late 1960's and 70's. Even if I was 35 cents short for what I wanted the manager told me that the item was on sale that day and made sure I had enough left for bus fare home. I am sure that Radio Shack would do the same for a 14 year old kid whose biggest purchase all year was a 19.95 stereo solid state amp, 4 watts per channel.
Regards,
Richard.

Keep it. I have an Olson tube tuner and it's built well.
