Since no one else has bothered to Welcome you,

Welcome to the Forums Wayne!!

Congradulations on your find! I'm thinking there are more than a few jelious owners (and want to be owners) out there.

Sorry I can't help with the digital camera .... but I'm about as good at that as I am finding a place to balance my running gear
(as a unit) anywhere but the west coast.

Again,

Welcome

I know this is a difficult question to answer, but what would the price range of a 1962 Globetrotter be? I have an original owner ready to sell, but neither of us really knows a fair price. It is in very nice, original condition, 100% operational.

Craig,

You can start here. The worksheet is a few years old, but prices are pretty realistic.

I've seen them range from $300 to $12000. So yeah, use Markdoane's link to narrow it down a bit.
