I am a collector of old theater sound systems, and related parts such as tubes, speakers, old amplifiers, etc. I travel all around the U.S. and will pick up and pay cash. Please call me at: 616-791-0867 or email me at: . I will be happy to pay more than fair amounts for your unused equipment.

Oh please, STOP.
Indeed; this is the fourth time this posting has appeared since June, the last barely two weeks ago. I really doubt that many CT readers have these sound systems and parts just lying around. The poster would probably have better luck contacting companies about to wreck old theaters or the owners of long-closed theaters.
You see these ads all over — in local print classifieds, periodicals, etc., as well as on the web. A few MIGHT be actual collectors hoping to find the pot of gold, but I have to believe most are dealers looking to score hot vintage electronics for resale. This belief is grounded as much in the obvious insensitivity to where they’re repeatedly posting their spam as much as anything.
