Old Equipment Inherited


So I am now the owner of a Counterpoint SA-11 and Audio Research SP-9. They turn on, and the tubes glow. Is there a market for this stuff? I figure shipping alone will be huge, with the SA-11.

What do you realistically do with it? Shipping would seem to make pricing prohibitive. Is this just a Craigslist and hope for the best?

The B&W 801 FS speakers are so huge, I think these are another albatross. No idea how you would ship these!

The Counterpoint SA-20/20 went in the trash because, let's face it, 65lbs, with some kind of fault (power LED indicating fault) and no one knows how to work it....

The OP's playing games. He knows exactly what he has and is either too cheap to take out a listing, or is playing dumb claiming that he inherited all this heavy old junk and doesn't know what to do with it all.

That line is just brilliant. He's hoping we all jump out of our chairs yelling "Stop! Don't throw any more heavy stuff away! Its still worth something....."

I know someone's bound to say why I don't give the OP the benefit of the doubt. My answer to that would be to look at the OP's other post from 2013.

"Counterpoint SA-20 Amplifier
Not sure where to post this, so I thought I would start here and see if anyone can offer suggestions.

I have the subject amp, and the main fuse blew, and replacing it, same thing happened. Going by the Alta Vista Audio site, the probable cause is the main power supply is gone.

I am no longer in a position to support this amp, plus Mike Elliot doesn't fix them anymore anyway due to health issues, so before I take it to the local dump, is there a place to freecycle items like this. I guess it is not totally free, since they would have to pay the cost of shipping 70+ lbs of metal to wherever they are, but it is almost free.

Thanks

As anyone can see, the OP clearly knows exactly what kind of equipment he "just inherited".
