Vintage audiophile equipment

I ran across a few items in an estate sale - all new in the box.  Not sure why the guy who owned these bought them and never used them.  I have no personal use for them myself, but I might get them anyway to sell.  Before I put them on eBay, would anyone here have any interest?

 

Akai GX-747 with DC-635 dust cover

 

Nakamichi Dragon auto reverse cassette deck

 

Nakamichi TX-1000 turntable

 

Nakamichi VS-100 vacuum stabalizer

 

Nakamichi PA-5 amp

 

 

Any interest?

Pics attached to this message.  What I'm asking is what they're worth.  That will let me know how much I'll offer the estate.

 

Yes it's a Nakamichi vacuum stabilizer.

 

Plus there is a Yamaha amp and preamp combo and the PA5 amp along with the Akai reel to reel deck.

Wow - that's a heavy turntable.  It's an auction and right now the turntable is going for $750 - not sure how high I want to push it.

Did you see how much a power supply is up for on eBay?

Agree with oldred....Seriously, if you need to push it to $2K or more.....

Would be very interested to find out from you the final results on these items.

DO NOT just settle for a small amount.......What you have is the rarest of rare turntables which also happens to be quite sought after.

 

Let it ride for a while...i do not know how much you have invested but you could sell everything else it will still not make what the turntable is worth.

 

It's out of my league

 

G.E.M.

I have seen plenty of Vintage Audio equipment going for as much as 10x the original price in excellent condition...def worth more if you have the cash, and the time to find the right buyer. Don't forget there is a resurgence in vinyl right now.

I wish I could have pushed it further, but at $1500 I had to stop.  A couple of other people were still pushing it up so I'll see where it ends.

I would not be surprised to see it get the original MSRP.
