I have a spare one (as long as I can come up with a 10 string bridge for lap steel), and two different cats are interested.
What are they worth?
I'm trying to form an educated guess

If all parts, top to bottom, are there I'd say no more than $250. More likely, closer to $200. It's probably triple/double which makes it useful for a wide variety of projects!
I recently got $225 for a complete Sho-Bud 6139 R & B changer. Those are a little more limited as to their potential uses. It has to be used with a R & B, or Barrel & 2 hole puller setup, or else it's essentially a single raise/single lower. |

Actually, double/double.
All parts, with pillow blocks and whatever that rear block is called.
The blocks are anodized shiny black.
I'd assume the double/double lowers about 25, and the anodizing would put it back.

I agree, I'd likely consider $150-$200 as "top dollar". Many times, complete guitars sell for around a grand, or only slightly more. Parting one out (an S10 Classic) usually brings $750-$950.
The anodizing wouldn't add anything, IMHO, as there's nothing else on most guitars for it to match.  |

One cat currently rebuilding an MSA is offering a swap of parts for parts so I would get a ten string bridge for lap steel.
Are those currently on the market and if so, what are they worth?
I know rather little of lap steel
