My wife is getting REALLY nervous

Let us know if you need help with purchasing any or all of that gear. I'll bet some of us would love to have a chance to participate or cooperate with your score.

Will do, I plan on taking inventory and if a fair offer comes to more than I want spend I ll post whats available.
Could be a treasure or a big pile of junk. Im just hoping he took better care of his "collection" than he did his vinyl, most were in rough shape.

I can help with that. That would be a fun project. Didn't AK members BarrynSue do something like this where they bought a collection of Mac gear and sold it on eBay?

I did but out of all of the pieces I purchased, there were only 9-10 pieces of McIntosh equipment.

I still have quite bit. Anyone looking to do something like I did should get a partner or two as selling HUNDREDS of pieces of gear, manuals, tubes, etc. is quite an undertaking. I still buy but usually only highern end or somewhat immaculate equipment.

You will tire quickly if everything is a restoration project so make sure you have a partnership were one knows how to repair and another knows how to sell and pack. Trying to do everything will wear you out, especially when you have a job that takes up 10-12 hours each day.

Buying a project in one lot is not recommended even IF the price is right unless it is good stuff

You made the right decison.

It's still tough to walk away, I've been on the old radio hunt for about 35 years, of course back then people Begged you to take them away. Times do change

That, Folks, is the beauty of AK - 20,000 people just reaped the benefit of Barry's knowledge and experience. Thanks Barry, you're a credit to AK!
