Several radios
#8

Is there any way to go and view them? A group picture from 20 feet across a room isn't a lot to go buy in terms of coming up with a bid. For example the two old console cabinets on one end may be just that, with no chassis inside. As for the rest you don't really know whether they are complete or not, like you don't know if someone plucked all the tubes out, or if the speaker is missing, power transformer missing, etc, without looking in the back. The A.K looks like it has suffered some water damage, some of the others probably need refinishing. You could still make an offer without viewing them, but you should keep it as low as possible, I would not pay more then about $150 site unseen. You have a hodge podge of different makes and models, some from different eras, to get what you want you have to take the one's you don't. I don't really understand why they can't break up the lot and either list them in smaller lots or sell them separately. As I keep trying to explain to people, it's not the purchase price that's the expensive part, it's the restoration.
