I think its worth bidding 12A's are pretty much bullet proof unless they've been overheated! but other than that shipping woulnt be much! and plus its a no reserve auction !!! i would'nt bid more than $200 tho....Just IMO

those are both pre 73 motors, 100% chance of both being blown, plus they arent usable in a 7

buy them, pull one apart, learn everything you can about it and rebuild it. Pull the other one apart, clean and polish it and make rotor ornaments.

If it goes for cheap, pick it up! There are some carbs and two motors to play around with (practice porting maybe), but Im also a packrat so its your call.
