M49 ring trolley value?
« on: November 12, 2015, 05:57:47 PM »
Looking for help on the current value of an m49 skate rail trolley?   Just the trolley.  I'm buying not selling!

Thanks

They typically run around $1000 when I see them for sale.

Thanks Steve.  I don't know much about them, but Sarco has some for $595.

Thanks for the tip.   I ordered one the other day...they're out of stock now.  Sold like hotcakes!

Now you need to buy the cradle and those aren't cheap either.

Got mine, NOS in the box from the 50's.  I too now need to get the cradle!

I think that ad is for the skate rail trolley rather than the m49 ring mount trolley. The m49 trolley will fit on the skate rail but the technical manual calls for the M35 which I think is what the advert is for and they go for that kind of price, have gone for a lot more actually. Someone found a bunch in Greece 4-5 years ago and prices have gone down some.

Brad,
  Did you ever take your trolley out of the box?  Just curious if it's a complete assembly or if we somehow got had.  Mine is still boxed up in the States so I can't check.

I had mine out when I got it.  Very nice, new complete condition.   I need to dig it out again soon as I just purchased the 30/50 cradle for it.  Don't have it yet but should soon.  I'll also have a pulpit soon.  Only thing remaining for me to get will be the ring.
