I’m looking for vintage theater sound equipment – speakers, horns, tube amplifiers, tubes, transformers, parts, and drivers – big or small, working or not. I am located in the Philadelphia area and will pick up within a 300 mile radius or will pay for shipping costs.
Call 215-983-0987 or e-mail
Thank you, Dan

This may be what you are looking for?
A friend and I have been working with a list of old equipment and films.He has inherited a collection of 35mm and 16mm movies and equipment.
They have no knowledge of any of the items and this is beyond, my expertise.
We have researched many of the items and feel that for estate purposes we would estimate the Fair Market Value of the collection to be about $9,000 – 12,000.
We may be faced with liquidating the items to satisfy the requirements of this estate. This poses these three questions for your opinion.
Would it be best to sell the items as a total “Group”?
Would a local auction or store be a good place to sell?
We also considered trade magazines like Big Reel to advertise?
I don’t believe that the family has the time or interest to sell the items individually, or on line etc.
A quick opinion would be greatly valued.
If you would like to see some photos please let me know.

I have an antique SKED-CLOK that I am interested in selling. It has the original bag and instructions with it. Is that something you (or someone you know) would be interested in?
