Need help to know the value of these items


Hello everyone. I'm portuguese and I got this sound system inheritance. There are elements that I know the brand, others not. So I wonder if there is anyone who can help me.
System:
garrard 301 with tonearm tabriz with a audio-technica cartridge.
3 Russ L (????) tubes amplifiers, one with 2 tangos transformers.
Final speakers.
Pre-amp  Sugden au.41.
best regards.
César Fernandes 

PS: sorry this is a translation made by google maybe doesn't even make sense.

Never heard of any audio product from a company called "Russ L".  Are you sure it's not "Russell" or similar, with a few letters wiped away?  Even under the name Russell, it rings no bell with me.  However, a Shishido 2A3 amplifier with Tango transformers sounds good, if the speakers are efficient enough.  Can you post a photo?
I recommend Audiogon or Audio Asylum Trader or US Audiomart ahead of eBay. You will find knowledgeable and honest buyers via those three venues, way better than eBay.
Cesar, I realize we are not using your native language, but I specifically asked about the plinth, and "asmith99" re-enforced my other question: grease-bearing or oil-bearing?  (The word "plinth" in English means the base or the substructure into which the turntable chassis fitted.  Typically, it's there to add mass and to dampen resonances generated by operation of the motor.  Good plinths can be expensive and make a huge difference in performance and value.)  There is no need to convey this information to me; I am no expert on the latest values of a Garrard 301, but many others who read these threads do have such expertise.  Also, you need to use those added details when you inquire elsewhere about resale value.
 The Garrard 301 has a very definite value in the marketplace. Just look up the prices of other units that may be for sale at this moment, and use those data as a guide. It would also help if you would say what version of the Garrard you have there. Grease bearing or oil bearing, for example. Also, is it in a plinth? If it’s in a plinth, what kind of plinth ? These details determine the ultimate value.
