I have come across a SMITHS HEATER in an FC , and am wondering what there value to sell is, as I have not sold one before . It is or appears to be original but the hoses have perished. It appears in very good condition, Im thinking around $200 Is that an excessive price, please if you have an opinion or have bought one , let me know what it cost you,. as a guide . And no I wont believe $20. THANKS GENTS, an ever incressingly , more and more curious SLIM
Hi Slim I bought one about three weeks ago in really good condition just needs a repaint for $150.00
regards mike.
i`ve seen them at swap meets for $80-90 in
average condition .
i bet 9 times out of 10 that they`ll probably leak too.
$200 sounds expensive.
cheers
Hi Slim,
Re smiths heater, $200 sounds dear, but if it is in excellent condition, core does not leak, ie pressure tested and the fan motor is quiet, $100 sounds better.
If it included a proper tap for the block that worked and did not leak then a few more dollars.
I have been chasing a good original tap for yonks and yet to find one.

It is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. There was one listed on ebay by a gent up here in Gordon ACT, but due to his wording and a starting price of only $15 no one bid for it. I have seen the heater it looks OK but who knows without testing it, it also was missing the control panel.
Good Luck

Hey Slim,
I scored a nasco bullet type heater yesterday (by fluke) from a local wrecker and paid $40.00, It's the type that has the control panel with the under bonnet ducting.
I dont think he knew its value, I would have paid around $150.00 for it.
hope this helps,
Steve
$200 is more than they cost new and as they are still fairly easy to find ,i would say $40 to $60 for average one and up to $120 for a mint one with good tap and control unit.
Thank you Gents , for your guidance on price, saves me over charging someone! ;D
