I like to get other members opinions whether the system listed below is worth
anything or should I try to sell it and get something newer.
I think this is sort of a interesting story.
Back in the mid seventies I was a bit of an audiophile and acquired the
following components for my "system" an Accuphase E-202 integrated amp.,
a Technics SL-1200 turntable, with a top of the line ADC cartridge
(paid over $200 in 1970's dollars for the cartridge), and a pair of IMF TL-80 speakers.
I used this system sporadically for about 3 years, and then went off
to college where as the "system lay unused during my absence.
Upon my return, we moved into a new house and the "system" was
packed up and stored in the rec-room of our new home.
At that time my interest in music and hi fidelity audio equipment had
waned. The equipment has not been unpacked or used in over 30 years.
It is still sitting packed up in our rec-room.
I am hoping that other members can advise me on the following.
The system is over 37 years old does it still have some value, or has
technology passed it by. I rarely listen to music anymore, should I attempt
to sell it and use the proceeds to buy something inline with my now reduced
level of interest.
Lastly do you think this system will still operate properly after sitting idle
for over 30 years.
