I paid £30 for a full set back in 1968 so maybe a bit more now.

Probably all depends on how much use its had .

Sometimes they can be very rough on first gear

A complete straight cut set in a 1071 box sold recently on eBay. The casing had been repaired so difficult to judge the value of that, but this is what i went for, with carriage on top

It wasn't the gears in that box that brought the money, it was the case.......Probably would have sold for the same price empty....

A basic set of used 3 synch gears, no box, (so long as first gear wasn't trashed), couldn't reasonably be worth any more than 100 pounds, max 150 if they are in good condition.....

A couple of years ago I was watching this eBay auction, most of two complete sets for £345 final total

(before I decided to build my 333 gearbox using NOS helical, a much more expensive option!)

Another more recent but quite heavily used bare set didn’t sell at £130

So £150 for a good used set complete with shafts and bearings seems about right.

I would say £150 for a used set with some damage on first is about right


So what would a NOS genuine set be worth ?

I paid £250 for a genuine NOS ST straight cut set last year ... but think it was a bit of a bargain

I did wonder but the case had significant repair work that is difficult to quantify in terms of reliability and robustness.

I did sell a set before I joined this forum on eBay. Used but very nice - probably had 30 - 40 track outings and no more. They went for £355 if that’s anything to go on? Three keen bidders so that’s another ‘who wants them’ factor

That 190 gearbox, I think is the rarest of the rare, so, even with the damage, someone was bound to cough up large for it.....

A brand new set can be purchased for about 265 Squid I think......minus shafts and bearings.....

359 squid

263.50 from Guessworks.......

Don't forget to add vat to that price.

I am amazed that the bearing kits are the same or more money. Gearbox rebuilds are expensive these days.

[bwaminispeed]

I'm in Canada, so, no vat, but, through the nose for shipping......

Yeah, they are.......
