What are your opinions on this model?  43B

Would one in good condition cosmetically and restored electrically be worth $200?

In a good condition that does not require cabinet restoration and restored (properly) electrically - sure it would.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.

I think Mike is right on and as usual the biggie question is how well restored? A skilled job? Or a job that needs to be re-done. Got to get underneath.

I may look into it further. Is this a desirable model, or run of the mill?

Which models are the ones to watch for?

I just sold a restored 71 for $150.00 today. I would say a 43 in good restored condition is worth $200.00 but it is a little high for non eBay.
