I ran across one with a porcelain light on top. Its apart but has been painted, all the trim looks nice and everything appears to be there and in good condition. Just wondering what I should offer.

Here was my recent purchase. I paid $300 for this one if that helps you on what to offer.

I wouldn't mind having a lighted top piece for my Islander. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...kon_1_1342.jpg

A good builder starts at about 2,000.00 if all the pieces are there. Is it air & water? Not all the islanders had water. What's the letters following 246?..Joe

This restored 240 model just got near $2900 last August.

I've seen them bring more,and less.Original parts are virtually non existent.
Condition,and parts included are everything today.

That was one sweet 240! I was watching that one...UGH! Mine was a rescue, looked to have been involved in a hit and run. I had to restore it, but thankfully no major damage. Love the Old Gas collectables...

I like these too, but would prefer a repro - do they exist?

Re: ECO air meter
 

No,too many intricate parts to reproduce.
Someone did have a plaster cast of one floating around though.
