I've been restoring few old chromatic harps and I wonder how much would be a fair price to ask? What I've done for the harps is gapping, tuning, cleaning & comb sanding + sealing.
The models I have are Hohner's:
*Chromonika II (spelled with the "k"), 12 holes in C
*Larry Adler Professional 12, key of C
*The Chromonica 10, key of G
*Chromonica II De Luxe, key of C (this is a model from the 50s with aerodynamically stylized "all chrome" covers and "stealth" knob)
These are all in pretty good condition after my treatment. I don't know how old these are except for that cool looking deluxe from the 50's.
So what to ask? I have no idea of what to ask for these..

If your good at $100
If your reel good at it $200
I have a couple Chrom 260's(10 hole) in C.
Do you know how to replace reeds?
I have a couple that need a reed replaced and I have one or two that need new wind savers.
What kind of diatonic harps do you play?
I make some very nice custome diatonics that I would be willing to trade, If thats something you might be interested in let me know?

I have a 16 hole Hering chromatic that needs a reed or two replacing. Does anyone know anybody who can do that?
Apskarp - I'd probably agree with Chromaticblues estimates.

The reed changing isn't that difficult. I can do that but I don't have spare reeds in the stock so I'd have to order those e.g. from harponline.
@chromaticblues: Send me email about your custom diatonics- you can find it from my profile. I play usually hohner's regular diatonics, but I have couple of minor tuned diatonics too.
