Hi everyone. I want to sell these two handles but I have absolutely no idea what they are worth, or if they are even worth anything!
1. The yellow one is a J. Roberts Flight Control Handle in the original box. It is used and there is a small crack on the bottom corner. I was thinking of adding the three line bellcrank with it. It is stamped with an LRP but no other adentifiers.
2. The red one is a GS-Products Corp. Int'l Three line handle. It is used but in very good condition.
Any help with prices would be greatly appreciated. Thanks H^^

You can get an idea of what a new one would cost by looking it up on Brodak's web site.. http://www.brodak.com/

Thanks Bob....I didn't even know they still made these! LOL H^^

Be ready to clean your drawer after you see the Brodak Three line handles. The LRP handle is/was manufactured by Leon Ryktarksic(I spelled it best as I can remember). He took over from J Roberts the handles and bellcranks. At the time they were around $25.00 for the handles I bought.
I beleive I paid something like 9.95 for my first J Roberts handle. Just watched one go for $41.00 on the bay.
The Brodak handles have a different geometry set up which makes the handles not compatable with the J Roberts or LRP bellcranks. Depending on the bidding mood on the bay you may get as little as $15.00 or as much as $50.00.
Good luck, DOC Holliday

Thanks John. And if you will notice, the J. Roberts box has a $10 price tag on it from the hobby shop. It must be one of the old, original ones. Thats cool! Thanks! H^^
