I won't pretend to know what they are worth.  eBay and other audio sites should be reviewed, although I imagine another Forum member with a clue might just chime in.  Sherman Fairchild was a good friend and early supporter of PWK.  If our new museum had any money (not yet!), they would be considered as a possible addition.

I believe they are the Model 245 preamp and 255 35-watt (or so) mono amplifiers. Maybe the Model 248 stereo pre -- it was made up of a pair of 245 mono pre's and a central control unit and volume control.  Wow, that's ancient stuff!  I had a mono 255, and it sounded great on a Shorthorn!.
