evaluating an old Meade SCT

(Hope this is the right place for this, as the telescope is not actually be sold, we're just interested in a current value for it.)

I've been asked to look at a very old Meade SCT and try and work out what it might be worth. Going by the shop sticker it was bought around the very early 1980's. I've done a little googling and think it might be a LX6. It has a motor for RA but no other controls or ports. The manual RA knob is missing.

The optics are in good condition, although there is a mysterious piece of tape peeling off the lower baffle that worries me. It is also missing the visual back, diagonal and eyepieces, but the original heavy-duty tripod is with it and ok.
