    Default Seeking help/info on a vintage radar detector.

    I am here seeking help on a vintage radar detector. It's called "Long Range Super Snooper" i received it from my grandpa. I am trying to help him sell some of his belongings (he is almost 90 years old) so i was curious if this had any value. I was trying to look up info and see what people buy/sell these for but the most i was able to find was this picture:

    If anyone had any info i was greatly appreciate the help!

    Head over to *bay and type in vintage radar detector. I look there a lot for kicks - They really go for all prices but I'm guessing you could get maybe $20-$25 for it if its in decent condition. I've seen people list old detectors for a lot more but they sit there for a long time and I doubt they sell. People collect them though, I have bought some old ones myself but again I don't pay more than about $25-$30 at most. Hope this helps.

    I -think- that this model was the first superhetrodyne radar detector available.

    A lot of people think the first superhetrodyne radar detector was the original Escort, which was actually the first dual-band superhetrodyne radar detector. It is my understanding that Super Snooper LR was superhetrodyne for X-Band only.

    (Pretty sure this is the one, but I never opened it up to find out for certain...)
