This seems to be gear from 1950-60s. Obsolete and useless today. Probably will go for a price of scrap metal. Some may actually contain sizable amount of silver and other valuable materials though.

That one wasn't an estate. It was a guy who normally sells this stuff on eBay. It's his collection. Those aren't worthless by any means--the higher-end stuff is still worth something, as are all the tube testers. All the test equipment is worth something as parts--transformers, tubes, knobs, terminals, etc. I would have cheerfully bought a huge pile of stuff if it were cheap enough.

Good hunting today!
Did really well today. From a couple of estate sales I landed:
Harman Kardon 330c receiver
Yamaha M-35 2/4 channel power amp
Pinnacle Classic Gold center channel (solid box, 4 5.25" drivers and a dome tweeter; one coil from the crossover was rolling around in the box)
Sony SRS-Z1 mini-amp; possibly tripath-based
ATSC digital tuner, for my monitor that doesn't have one, to turn it into a TV. Had the remote, too
Klipsch KG-3's (very clean, black finish)
Pioneer RT-1022L reel-to-reel, with NAB adapters, manuals, and power cord
All for $120.

I bought it all for the Akai, the Pioneer was just a bonus!
I knew what it was because I bought and sold one about 3 years ago. This one works like a brand new one. The belt is a little loose so I will replace it, but all in all.....:thmbsp:
$50 for everything.
Ill post pics after I polish everything. VERY dusty! No damage, just dusty.
Good thing I stopped in there, everything else I seen today was garbage.

Stopped by an estate sale today about 2 hours after it opened. Lots of junk! But I happened to go in the basement and in the corner behind all of the piles of scrap fabric was a small stereo cabinet. Inside was a Pioneer SA-5500II and TX-5500II and a Akai GXR-82D 8 track recorder.PHP:

After a few hours of cleaning, polishing, deoxiting and testing, this is the results! They all work like they were just pulled out of the boxes. Not an issue in any one of them.
And they were covered in years of dust, yechh and smoke film. :yes:

It never hurts to ask!
Things have been going well lately. Today's hauls include: two pair of small later model JBL's (one pair is J216A, the other pair has the same drivers, but no model number to be seen); a very retro pair of Koss Pro4 headphones (not Pro 4 AA) in drab green; a stack of 10-1/2" reels of tape (10 rolls of TDK Audua, 7 of Scotch 207), and a pair of Infinity Reference Series Kappa 7's. Oh yeah, and a Packard Bell stereo demonstration record in a cool octagonal sleeve. All for under $150.
