These look to be pretty nice, I thinks these units are a desirable piece of equipment, anyone looking for such might want to check them out - starting bid is $150 for both of them. -

Looking around at used equipment sources, these compressors are worth about $35 each. Plus, there is no information when the capacitors were changed-out last for these units. They are usually good for about 8 years, then need replacing. The timing of attack and recovery time changes with the age of the electrolytics. For $150, you could buy a pretty good stereo compressor brand new.
Looks aren't everything; how do they sound?
Marshall is correct. It is very advisable to be extremely cautious regarding purchasing vintage gear like that. Chances are good those things sat in a rack with no spacing in between and ran 24/7 with inadequate ventilation and cooked those electrolytic components. Not to mention degrading the solder connections and throwing the whole thing out of calibration, in turn ending up costing far more to bring them up to spec.
Let the buyer beware!!!
