Default Estes Blue Tube Motors

Okay guys.....

So much talk about motors. I've had these blue tube motors sitting around forever. I'm never going to use them and I'm not really a collector so I guess it's time to let them go to a good home. Opened tubes for $5 plus shipping. Sealed tubes for $10 plus shipping. Best I can tell, each tube comes with the instruction sheets and that strip of nichrome wire that we used to have to cut into thirds for the motors. Each tube includes three motors unless I state otherwise. I don't know how these have been stored before I got them so I assume no responsibility for catos if you decide to fly them.

Here's what I've got.......

1/4 A3-2 (opened) Date code 6-18-71, 6-15-71, and 11-19-70
1/4 A3-2S (opened) Date code 2-19-70 (with spacer)
1/4 A3-2S (opened) Date code 6-4-70 (with spacer)
1/4 A3-4 (sealed)
1/4 A3-4 (opened) Date code 6-9-70
1/4 A3-4 (opened) Date code 6-9-70 (no instructions or nichrome)
1/4 A3-4 (opened) Date code 1-20-70
1/4 A3-4 (opened) Date code 6-9-70 and 4-28-70 (missing one end cap)
1/4 A3-4 (opened) Date code 4-28-70
1/4 A3-4 (opened) Date code 6-9-70
1/4 A3-4S (opened) Date code 6-10-70 (no spacer tube)
1/4 A3-4S (opened) Date code 6-10-70 (with spacer)
1/4 A3-4S (opened) Date code 7-4-69, 8-7-69, and 1-7-69 (with spacer)
1/2 A6-2S (opened) Date code 11-11-70 (with spacer)
1/2 A6-0 (opened) Date code 1-14-70
1/2 A6-2 (opened) Date code 8-31-70


Just PM me if you are interested. I'll go down to the Post Office tomorrow to get some idea of the cost to ship.

Oh yea.....that's right. I forget that one since it seems to be the only Federal Holiday that I don't get off (well Columbus Day, but that's because we traded it to have 2 days off for Thanksgiving.)

Don;

Are you selling these as one big lot or piecemeal? I'd love a few of these, and we can save the shipping if you want to bring them to me at the Launch Crue Regional!

Only two of them don't have both end caps. See list. It's annotated.
