What Is My Old Hilton Amplifier Worth?

The following price list was provided by Dick Bull and was current as of 2012. Please understand that many of the older systems have parts that are simply no longer available, and as such, are of little or no value. Consider this as you sell your equipment. It may not be worth the hard feelings if something were to go wrong immediately after your sale, and the buyer were unable to repair it. I have added columns at 75% of the value in 2015, and also "street value" assuming no refurb work has been done.

Estimated Value Of Hilton Amplifiers

In the past, when Hilton accepted a trade-in, they did a full inspection and "refurb" of the unit before they made it available for sale. This process took several hours, and averaged $300.00 in parts and labor. Hilton then made the product available for sale with a 90 day warranty. Hilton made it a policy not to accept trade-ins older than 20 years.

Hilton is NOT taking trade-ins at this time.

We do, however, encourage you to "Pay It Forward" by donating your used equipment to your local callers association or the CALLERLAB Youth Scholarship Fund. The activity needs new, younger, callers to carry on our traditions and used equipment can help them to take that first step.
