a crappy rusted sencore ps 148 oscilloscope/vectorscope. probably only worth it's tubes since it's old, rusty and likely uncalibrated. works though.

some generic signal generator. don't know if it works right but it does have a single vacuum tube which to me dates it as pretty old. it's rusty on the outside but it lights up. also probably only good for the value of it's tube.

and my baby, a ts-41c/u military signal generator. i hate to get rid of it but it just takes too much space. i'd only sell it if it were actually worth something though. it works well and i have a copy of the manual.

I don't have the slightest idea what a good appraisal value would be, but I would say the Oscope and the old Mil-spec Sig-gen would both be valuable.  The biggest problem would be shipping costs.  I would jump on either if I had the $$ to spend on it.

it's kind of hard to price this stuff on ebay. the only things that are on ebay are the guiger counter and the motor. the motor is of course going to be undervalued on ebay since new they're like $100 and shipping makes them worthless on ebay. the guiger counter is also a bit tricky since there's a dozen models of that guiger counter almost all of which have different values ranging from 25-300.

I'll take some guesses:
Sony/tech O'scope - ~$50-75
Old O'scope ~$25-50
TS41 ~$50-250
motor $5-10
Sig Gen ~$20-75
Plus shipping of course.

Another outlet to sell these would be a Ham Fest. Do you know of any Ham Radio guys in your area. And/or google for Ham Fest and your area. Then it would be pay and carry so shipping isn't involved. 
Hint on Ham Fest and electronic surplus pricing: The price is inversely proportional to the weight.
