I bought one of these babies around 1989 and it is now having

fix, or sell as is or what.

Any ideas??

If you sell as-is, you'll almost certainly take a heafty discount off the
normal used pricing. The buyer gets extra off the going rate due to the
uncertainty factor.

However, if you don't care about getting the highest price for your unit
and just want to move it out of your eyesight, selling as-is is probably
your best bet.

If you have it repaired however, there is no reason you shouldn't get the
going rate for an item it whatever cosmetic condition its in.

Sometimes there is a middle course. That'd be to determine the cause of
the problem, but leave it unrepaired. However, chances are this is
impractical as many noise problems in electronics are caused by a
relatively inexpensive part going bad. The real cost is in the diagnostic
work, not the part and repair.
