The
value of of these is usually in the related
components: ashtray slider lid; trim plate over
ashtray slider, map light on 68-70s; lock with or
without key, console lid bracket on console body,
console lid bracket on lid. "RUSTY" means it has rust
but seems to be structurally useable. "RUSTED OUT"
means it is useable as a pattern or by someone who
really is talented or likes a seemingly hopeless
challenge!. The bottom of these get that way
sometimes. You'd have to weld in a patch or a new
bottom. Map lights may need to have their sockets
rebuilt as well; or they just may need a bulb or may
actually light right up. (more info in individual
listings) So why didn't you buy a new console in the
80s when we had them in stock? I would normally tend
to just strip out the little parts but I have seen
some remarkable restorations done on these old
consoles so are keeping them for awhile. There are a
number of places that can refoam/recover them.
Rough
estimate of component costs when sold separately. This
is why; for the most part; a given ratty console will
have a $XX price. These are approximations as any of
the parts may be priced differently up and down when
sold separately. You are welcome to request a certain
console be sold without a certain part(s). Sometimes
this is possible, sometimes not. We usually yank all
the cig lighters as they are typically junk and can be
a fire hazard. Cleaned and tested used ones may be
available.
Map
light construction is very odd...they work like the
top of a ball point pen; when the lense it pushed in
it lights; and then the lense pivots when released.
The two parts that slide on each other have to be
clean and have no burrs for this to work. There is an
internal spring that has to be intact as well. Most
used ones need some amount of rework to make this
function actually FUNCTION.
