Hey, guys.

Quick question for you home audio 'philes:

I have the Sony rack system that I bought back in '87 that I am thinking of selling, and just curious what might be a reasonable valuation?

Phono: PS-LX520

Tuner: ST-JX430

EQ: SEQ-430 (9-band x2, 1 octave)

Dual Cassette: TC-WR730

Amp: TA-AX530

Speakers: APM-930AV (8-ohm, 150W nom, 300W peak)

CD player: deceased

Everything is 100% cosmetically and functionally, except the speaker cabinets have a few small scratches/dings...

maybe 50$, with new electronics and ht setups, i dont see much intrest. To the right collector i can see you getting more for your items.

Gotta believe that the oldskool amp would be the most valuable of all of the stuff....maybe the speakers.

They don't make shtuff this good anymore.

Only thing I really found in my online searches was the EQ, which sold on gheybay for $59 + $17 shipping

SONY SEQ-430 9-BAND GRAPHIC EQUALIZER | eBay

Just based on that I am certain the whole setup is worth well over $50, especially to "collectors" as you noted.
