Depends...are you selling or just valuing? You'll find 73 suitcases going for a cool $1K, the stage model (my first keyboard in 1977) is going for closer to $700. That's with normal wear and tear. If it's truly mint, original and in beautimous condition...value appropriately.
you can go to www.prepal.com and find the going rate on auction sites there.
Now they are old, worthless and still sound like crap.
Maybe it's a good amp

Well, wait a minute. Yes they are old. If his is truly in mint condition then the action should be great and not soggy. It should be in tune with no hot/cold spots.
If the Fender Rhodes sound is "crap" then why are several voicings of them included in almost all piano sound modules? They have a unique sound just like a Wurlitzer 140 or 200.
Kind of a big statement to say they're worthless and still sound like crap.

Tune it or DIE.

Ok maybe i was a little rough on my answer to how much a mint Rhodes is worth.I played one in the 80s and the action was terrible and from one octave to another the sound was too loud or not loud enough. It was probably worn out. It's just my opinion the sound could not compare to a Wurly for an electric piano from that time period.
