$25.50
Neat stuff and I could use a velvet vernier.
One with the two section variable would make a neat TRF or maybe a "no RF stage" superhet radio.

I would venture a guess of somewhere around 29$. I'd list my reasons, but i doubt it will make must difference.

Hello All,
This will be quite interesting to see the outcome! We have "SWAG's" of free to over $50 or so, with just about everything in between.
Remember "Let's Make a Deal", hosted by Monty Hall? They had a similar segment on the show where a few contestants would try to guess the retail value of misc items. The one closest to the real price won a prize. Sometimes they weren't grocery type items and you could win a trip to a exotic places like South Bend, Indiana, Camden, New Jersey, or Poughkeepsie, NY, just to name a few. or perhaps a chance to win a brand new '69 "Belch Fire 8" 4dr hardtop with high compression heads and dual exhaust with accessory seat belts, etc etc.
I think the "AMfone" version of "Lets Make a Deal" with the National Velvet Vernier listed as the prize; is far better than the Monty Hall television version, and the prize is something most of us could actually use!
Many thanks again for the post and the prize; whomever may be the lucky winner. Like most of us involved with this thread, I'm "chompin at the bit" awaiting it's outcome.
Mod-U-later,
Joe Cro N3IBX

Im going to say $52.00. I would have asked at least $10 each for those 4 brass velvets.
Sorry guys, Jim simply knows the value of a vernier and thus he deserves another for his collection. I hope a home on a VFO or a regenerative receiver or on a tuner is in this baby's future. Keep checking the mail Jim. There were some honorable mentions and some cheap ... well I won't go there  73's Mike Wu2D |

It might be solid state, though! Thanks for the generous gift, it was fun playing,too! |

Mike,
I think I got just the thing here for a return trip to you, something Im not using and I have plenty of.....should fit in the same box.
Patiently awaiting my fine specimen of radio art from days of yore.....
And thanks to the "keeper" of details,too.
Doug
