Looks like they run about $300 depending on condition.

Thanks Tom
I saw them as much as $1600. but 200-300 was common. I was hoping someone had some info on serial #s or models.

Thanks
Steven

I couldn't find a lot but are you sure that the last digit is a "1" not an "I". From what I can tell if it is an I it was built in December of 1967.

Thank you Tom
I believe you are correct

[Steven M Wilson]

here is how it turned out if anyone is interested

tom

i now believe the "i" may be a sanded off "f" so it might be June of 67
