Old Rogers valve amp, JvC graphic equaliser old cassette deck etc.


The Rogers amp may have some value - Ebay etc. The others likely not. So
it really depends on wether you might use any of them again.



The Rogers is almost certainly worth something, working or not. The cost
of decent mains and output transformers is silly now! I know, I've been
looking for some.

I did have one ages ago. Competent enough amp, although rather noisy by
modern standards. But totally outclassed by loads of later budget
transistor amps.

I can more understand using Quad or Radford etc valve amps on show as a
talking point. ;-)
