togish1 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Hey everyone. I came across a brand new propeller lifting tackle for the c-130 at a freight auction. I took it to a local aviation museum and they told me its worth $9000. Is this any where close to what its worth? Where would one go to find a buyer for this part? Manufacturer is Dowty. What could i do with it? If you guys have any information about it, please let me know. Thank you.[ATTACH=CONFIG]3017[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]3018[/ATTACH] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Legere Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Buying that brand new directly through an approved supplier the C-130J prop tackle is only $18,230.00. Lockheed offers the same hoist for $10,456.44(sn 1730-01-492-0135) which pretty much rules out any reason for anybody to pay full price for a "used" prop hoisting unit. With that being said, it is extremely unlikely that any military would buy a questionable(even though new) prop hoist from a non-approved source. You could try selling it on ebay and hope that someone is willing to take a chance with buying it, but I seriously doubt that there will be any market for what you have. Pretty much, you will be out of luck trying to sell your prop tackle until the C-130J makes it to the civilian aviation world. Sorry for the bad news and I hope you can find a buyer.
