My local store just got in a 70's Kamaka white label soprano with the original case. It is in very good condition except one of the tuners has been replaced.They haven't put it out for sale yet but,what do you think that would be worth?

There have been two up on eBay recently from the '70s, both in seemingly good condition with all-original equipment, neither of which sold. One got bids up to $270 but didn't reach the reserve, the other had a "Buy It Now" price of $299.

the white label seems to command a slightly higher premium than gold.
Completed Ebay listings for Kamaka standards swing from $270 all the way up to $455 (!) but slightly over $300 seems to be about average.
