Krell KSA 250 amps

I have 2 Krell KSA 250 amps that were recently bench tested that had been in storage for 10+ years. Each amp had a cap overheat and in the identical place on the input circuit boards. I am trying to sell these amps and realize I have to drop my price or get them repaired. Does anyone have info on what to ask for 2 non functioning amps. I have had an offer so low I can't accept it. Any help or info appreciated. Estimate from Krell is between 600-800/amp. Question is fix or part it out.

The KSA-250 was great for its time but it is sonically not up to todays sound quality.

If they were fixed, you would get north of $2k each. A friend looked for one of these about a year or two ago, and got a mint one for $2200, that was a good deal at the time. For those with power hungry speakers, it's hard to beat them in that price range, IMHO.
So fix 'em! Cheers,

I disagree with your assessment about charging more if you have them repaired. You still have an amplifier that is pushing 30 years old (think of it as rebuilding an engine on a 30 year-old car -- the transmission can go next, followed by...).

The market value for a working KSA 250 is about two thousand as others stated above, regardless of what you put into it.

Hi Frenetical,
I hope you are doing well as everyone here.
I have currently a Krell KSA 250 B which has been completely recaped and serviced 15 days ago. That has cost me near to $1,600. 
What would fees you charge to ship to France ? I am interested in your pair of Krell but I would like to know if the serial numbers follows each other.
Thank for your reply.
