Hi,
I have restored an AirChief Eight radio circa 1965 and have chronicled the project on my blog. http://www.palmbeachholidays.com.au/p/blog-page.html
The radio is now finished and working, I intended fitting it in an EK Holden but the vehicle has since been sold. The radio is presently in my home near Woy Woy on the Central Coast, I might put it on eBay but am not sure what it is worth?

That's a pretty neat bit of work, but unfortunately you have done the mods to a generic airchief radio.

Not a very sought after item, as they were, to my knowledge, fitted only as an aftermarket unit and are not a genuine factory item.

So they pop up in a lot of different marques.

Usually people hang out for the factory fitted items, and these are what fetch great prices.

Maybe a couple of hundred bucks at best. Good luck with your sale, love your work.
