Have a Houston Tracker System, worth anything?

[hadrians]

My grandpa was going to throw these away, told him i would check online to see if they are worth anything. They look like they have never been used, though I'm guessing the "memory fault" is a bad thing . Not sure if this is the right forum or not, but here it is:

Very nice system and in excellent condition! I'm sure they are worth something to somebody.

If memory serves me right then this model was for analog signals and not the current digital. Even though it appears in beautiful condition not much use because most of the stuff today as said before is digital. Before you decide to toss it let me know, I'd pay for shipping just for the sake of playing with it. I'm just a sucker for electronics. I just showed a friend of mine the first and only receiver that I built from scratch and was amazed that it worked.

One can use this to get QVC, HSN, C-SPAN, Classic Arts Showcase, Shop NBC, EWTN, INSP (The Inspiration Network), Shepherd's Chapel, and wild analog feeds which still exist as I've seen them used for live interviews a lot (probably because the delay is a lot less than digital).

Or one should be able to use the mover by itself for a DVB system.

if you slave a dvb receiverto that system it should get you a good amount of free to air channels.
