These belong to a friend who isn't a member of the forum as yet. He is going to sell these steels but, is hoping to get a fare price. If he should sell, he will send donations to the forum. The Rickenbacher has the wrong pickup installed. But, these are awesome.

The Orpheum is a very desirable guitar for collectors of oddball lap steels (including me). I'll get back to you on that one. Noah Miller has one so hopefully he'll weigh in.
Oahu square neck student guitars go for about $80-$150, depending on condition. With the top repair needed, this one would be toward the lower end of that scale.
Rickenbacker Silver Hawaiians with minor pitting of the chrome like this one appears to have seem to sell for around $900-$1K. Probably knock about $200 or so off for the wrong pickup and knobs. At least it still appears to have the original horse shoe magnets so I'll bet you could get a correct coil made up for around $150.
I'll be interested in what some of the real experts think. |

Looks like the nut is wrong on the Silver Hawaiian.

That ric looks like it has been oversprayed with rattlecan chrome paint. I'd have to assume its rusty as hell underneath.

| Hey Jeff. There is no spray paint on the Ric. your looking at a chrome Ric. It may have some pitting from age but, that is it. It looks it's age. And there is no rust. |

I've had one, I know what I am looking at. The top on this looks very different to the sides. Deep pitting but no rust showing?
