Default Eddystone 770R MK2 Receiver (price?)

I have recently been offered one of these receivers by a work colleague who has no knowledge of what it may be worth.
I've researched it online and I am none the wiser myself.
It's in OK condition but not been turned on for about 5 years but assuming it works, what sort of price should I offer?

Down to condition or more important that it has not been in a damp place.

£25 pretty rough to 80--100 pretty mint. Or somewhere in between.

The Eddystone User Group website includes info on prices they have changed hands for.

Thank you everyone , that's been really helpful, I will probably take a punt on it and buy it having spoken to the owner .
Hopefully it may work or just need slight TLC having been laid up for 5 years.

At the risk of stating the obvious - if you do get it, pls don't just plug it in straight away. I speak from unfortunate experience. A couple of years back I bought a 888A that had been in someone's garage for a year and I brought it up to speed too quickly. The 3rd IF failed and unfortunately that meant the end for that radio. Probably damp in the winding. I still have the radio but don't hold out any hope of replacing the IF. Best of luck. pete
