The old WE theatre systems bring very high prices. You might wanna do some more research on prices as you may get enough to fund your retirement with some of the gear you are currently liquidating. Some of your stuff may be worth more whole than parted out. As exray pointed out, the Asian market has created an unbelievable demand for old US tube equipment. $2k for a transformer seems high to us tron chasers, but as you know it's worth what someone wants to pay for it. You may want to research the issues with selling to Asia such as duties, shipping, seeing if ePay has a Japanese site, etc. It may be a temporary PITA, but could be very lucrative for you it in the long run.
