i built the board from a parts kit.it is a superheterodyne - xtal filtered.
silk screened board..true vfo,tuned around 7.040. tunes 35-40 khz up or down.solid state T-R switching (qsk). Output Abt 2.5 watts max.
I built A Cabinet,Painted it Enamel Almond with a Black cover.used a feq counter on it.put markings on it especially the VFO.All Are TRUE.then added several coats of clear coat.then baked it.nothing will come off.
I also have a Radio Shack 12 volt@3 amp,pwr supply with it.the pwr supply has binding posts on the front along with a cig lighter hole.

Well I just saw a Norcal 40M qrp rig kit unbuilt sell for $135.

Now you have to consider it covers 100khz and is 5 watts. Also yours is built and working but is also a few years old and been used but since yours has a case, knobs and the like.

If it were me I would offer the rig for somewhere near the $135 and see what you get.

Just my thoughts.
