'79 Gibson Hums -Value ?

[greco]

I have a set of Gibson humbuckers with nickel/chrome covers and lots of lead wire ( 2 conductor).

The metal base is stamped on the back with the PAT # and have an ink date stamp of "Mar. 13, 1979"

They are coming out of a MIJ Greco 335 copy made in 1980

I am considering selling the pickups ( individually or as a set) but I cant seem to find a way of establishing a price.
Looking at Ebay hasn't been helpful and I'd prefer to sell them to a SD forum bro anyways.

I put a SD Seth in the neck, and I really prefer it. Haven't changed the bridge yet.

Any suggestions as to a reasonable present market value for the pickups would be appreciated.

Thanks

Dave

Re: '79 Gibson Hums -Value ?

can you give the DC resistance readings?
I don't think they are rare or anything, I'd probably give no more than $35. each US for them.

The late ´70s Pat. No. pickups generally go for under or about 50$ each on eBay.....

I might not even give that much as they are from the deficient Norlin era and for $10 or so more (on average), you can buy a used Duncan HB.

They are possibly T-Tops. Quality varies. I love my neck TT, but the bridge was weak IMO. I only know from the T on the top of the coil...which would require removing the covers. Nothing uber-valuable though. Less than 100, likely less than 50. Do a search on ebay for gibson T tops.

marvar: the DC resistance is 7.49 Kohms for the neck. The bridge is still in the guitar.

Thanks for all the comments.

I'll try and get 45.00 to 50.00 Canadian each for them.
