Southwind 978 Heater value

[CombatJack]

hi all, I am curious to if these southwind 978 heaters are worth anything? I have a few and can't decide whether it is worth selling to get money for my restorations, or just hold em. I can't find much info on them. I included a photo just in case I am incorrect on what I have found. Thanks a lot.

That one looks like a gas model. Honestly its hit or miss on them. It seems that if you wnat to buy them, they are pricey but if you want to sell them, there is not much interest. I'd look on egay to see if there is any listed, and sell it at a little lower price point if you want it to move.

A couple NOS ones sold recently for +/- $200 on e-pay.

Are they 12 or 24 volt

they are 24v in sealed boxes. Thats not an awful price i reckon. Thanks a lot for the info.

I asked because I had one that was a stand alone 12 v model and saw another one that was also a 12 v model that was in a box it looked like it was set up for a tent or shelter heater. I should have grabbed it but didn't. up here at 5 to 6 bucks a gallon fuel costs too much just to use it for heat. there is an outfit called planair that is selling a Russian made combustion heater about the same size as the 10530 they are pretty economical they will burn less than a quart over 8 hours
