Vintage machines are not going for a lot of money. You see them advertised on Craigslist for outrages prices, but they don't sell. I paid less then $50 for my Eldredge Two Spools in a decent cabinet. The National Two Spools without a cabinet was about the same price. Price is only what you can actually sell it for - depends on who is looking and how bad they want the machine. I'd list it for around $100 and be prepared to come down. Your neighbor might get lucky and sell it for that much.
