No bids yet, I don't know how much these are worth, but I thought they were worth something. Could be a good deal?

Seems they're not working.  Between them all there might be enough parts to make one or two that work, but I wouldn't be too sure.  Seems risky.

Still... it's tempting.

When a seller says "probably don't work" they don't work and they are just hoping you take the gamble.

20 each for a headstart if it was gregory rebuilding them
may not be bad
but how many parts could you need to replace ?
i thought he was upfront about it  , if not a little
suggestive on the hopeful side

FWIW: these, most likely, can be fix/restored/refurbished using old stock parts.
'basically you get a few refurbished originals for your projects and
sell the rebuilt others to cover repair costs and your own DIY'...this was my line of thought.
I've had a snipe ready on these for 4 days already, but now I'm sure I won't get it for 107usd now :'(.

BTW, for any eBay seekers, one search that turns up a good variety of potentially interesting items is the "pre-1980" category.

Its all good... ;D
I was being greedy for the D-La2a I'm building: I already have a pair of DripT4B's in my hands.
Since the thread came up, I thought I'd share my research.
