It all depend on which one you will play more.

Value is really only relevant to the owner of the guitar. If you will play it/like it more. Do it! If you've never really wanted you'll be trading again for something you really do want.

I was wondering what ya'll thought.

This is what he had to say about it:

Yeah, it plays good. you have to get used to the flat neck (almost no radius).
theres some fret wear in the open chord positions, but it doesn't buzz out anywhere.
The only minor issue is one tuner (g string) slips as it comes up to tune with it strung the right way.
The G string is wound around the post backward. A guitar mechanic could possibly
tighten it up or replace one gear. I almost replaced it ,but i wanted to keep it all stock.
Anyway it works fine the way it is. The original coffin (hard to find) case is strong and intact, however it's missing it's (tweed?) covering, someone put a cool hippie patchwork covering on the top.
that's it for issues, all the pots and parts are original, except one screw holding on the back plate."

Did you ever get that Dano ?

If you did there is a copy of the December 1957 Issue of Popular Electronics Magazine on Ebay(link) that has the article which explains how to build an amp with "Throbbing Vibrato" .

I wouldn't mind having one.I wonder if you can still buy all the parts you need at Radio Shack?

I did, actually. And I love it. It's easily my favorite guitar. I just found my camera cable so I could take some pictures or do a demo or something if people care.
