My father is helping the estate manager of a HAM who is on the verge of becoming a silent key. He was given a list of equipment and asked to identify the value of it but my father is not a HAM and I'm not familiar with this gear. Perhaps some of you here can take a crack at this...

Icom IC-730
Kenwood TS-930S
Yaesu FT-101EE (all spec's except voice processor)
Ameritron AL-80 amp
Drake W-4 wattmeter
Kenwood DC power supply PS-8
"Antennas" (no additional information was given on that)

This will also be for sale after the lawyers do their due diligence with the matter.

I do not know who the HAM is, just that this is/was an expected event.

Icom IC-730 - $230
Kenwood TS-930S - $550
Yaesu FT-101EE - $250
Ameritron AL-80 amp - $550
Drake W-4 wattmeter - $70
Kenwood DC power supply PS-8 - $45

the prices assume fully working, as well as the exact you listed.
Prices reflect current market rate combined with what people actually pay.
Prices also reflect that is an estate sale... meaning it must go to pay off the estate so you don't need it sitting around for that "old man" who will pay top dollar because its still "the best damn rig" you can buy for the money. Assume $30 bucks less for quick sell on the radios. The Amp is in fact a AL-80 and not a A or B might be $500 bucks for good sell.

"antennas" are relative.. if they are already removed and taken apart they are worth more. I just took down a tower for a SK and we ended up just cutting the antenna for the scrap aluminum because it wouldn't come apart to transport. so an OM SK with OM antenna's that are "hacked" together are worth less to the seller with out being able to ship.

otherwise you will want to take pictures of them cant assume they are worth more then $50 bucks in scrap otherwise if there are a fair bit with tower I would say $200 bucks for the lot if its good stuff
