Default Please help identify SK test equipment for later sale

I am helping the widow of an old friend who died several years ago to identify and value his collection of test equipment. His paricular interest was quality vintage frequency measuring gear. I include some photos of one of his dozen or so BC221s, an RCA crystal calibrated wavemeter and a very impressive German Schomandl FDM1.

I would be grateful if anyone can give me an idea of their value and likely popularity. She’s not likely to want to try and sell it on eBay although I know that would be her best bet. The equipment is in Norfolk and will need to be collected when the time is right.

In my experience, BC221 and other similar wavemeters, go for between £20 and £50 assuming complete and in reasonable condition.

Jim as the kit is in Norfolk why not have a word with the North Norfolk Radio Club people who run the radio museum at Muckleburgh and see if someone would do some valuations for you.http://www.radioclubs.net/nnarg/about.php Or the Norfolk Amateur Radio Group http://www.norfolkamateurradio.org/

All of this stuff I mentioned in my first post has been taken to Keys Auction House in Aylsham Norfolk and will be for sale next Monday.
