Huge Clearout of Lifetime DiyAudio Member

Hello.

Longtime diyaudio member / enthusiast has fallen ill.

I'm assisting in clearing some space. Space is still enjoying the music, but the tinkering will have to come to an end. This is well over 20 years of collecting and tinkering. This is everything left from his immaculately organized home "workshop."

I've done my absolute best to accurately display and detail what's included. Everything has already been boxed. All prices are post paid in the United States when paid with PayPal friends and family. Everything that can fit in Priority Mail flat rate boxes will be shipped USPS. Anything larger via fedex. I have a lot of experience packing delicate items so don't worry on that front. No international shipping as this has already taken a great deal of time and I am unable to handle the complications of customs forms, etc. If you are absolutely dead set on something, and live internationally please contact me.

Also, I cannot answer specific questions regarding "can you check that this specific item is in the lot?" and so on. Everything is already boxed and ready to go.

Prices are my best ballpark and I believe priced reasonably and "to sell". If I am completely off base on something, apologies, please message me privately and tip me off.

Nothing is sold with any indication it works perfectly or works- Some of these items are "almost fully assembled" or "have a minor problem" which is why they are going to be sold here and my hope is priced accordingly. However, if I say "I believe it works" or "briefly tested" or something like that, it means it turns on and makes sound. These were all in space's "screwing around with" pile, and thus, I cannot know for sure.

Prices will decrease by 10% weekly until everything goes or it'll get listed on an auction site.

Once I sell around 50 % we'll do a little something for the diyaudio community, since space was such an active member for many years and looks upon it fondly. The Free Stuff (you pay shipping) section will open up to requests only after 50% is sold so please no inquiries before I indicate.

Please be understanding of the sensitive circumstances surrounding this sale... no low balling, etc.

*********** Components ***************

Huge Component Lot
- Note: There's been no cherry picking here and this was his personal stash and it's the best of everything. Dale RN series resistors, non-inductive wire wound resistors, Kiwame, etc. Resistors range from 1/4 - 5W, most being somewhere between 1/4 - 1W. Tons of large quantities of RN60 resistors. Film caps are Oil caps, teflon caps, polystyrene, mil spec, etc. as well as your usual wima and so on. Electrolytics are mostly of the top-notch series, Panasonic FM, etc. and Ceramic mostly COG/NP0. Mica also the quality Cornell Dublier etc. Like I said it's the cream of the crop, and it's all meticulously organized and labeled. Truly an amazing opportunity for basically a readymade DIY audio workstation. I've attempted to box this accurately, to maintain the organization- multiple boxes with dividers nested into a larger box. Again, this is 20 years of cream of the crop audio-specific parts collecting. $3,500 Photos Here
