Thank you all for your good advice. You are wonderful!
Special thanks to BartS -- you actually helped me take a deep breath and decide my next steps.
Here’s what I’m going to do:1. Using Bart’s suggestion, I will go through each system (he has 6, plus miscellaneous stuff) and get it all spreadsheeted, doing one system a day over the course of a week or so.2. Locate the boxes (yes, hoarded those, too) and paperwork/manuals and match them up.3. Get everything dusted and take photos.4. Let you all know when I’ve done that and where you can locate the sheet and photos to look at. (Will park on my website on a hidden page.)5. Then see where things go.
While I’d like it all gone tomorrow, I really do want to get back some of the value, as I’ve worked years paying it all off as he went along. (Note to those of you with a non-stereo spouse/significant other!) I figured if I floated the problem of getting rid of it all to you guys, you’d have good ideas. Thanks so much, and I’ll be back with more details soon.

that is a great plan, and a terrific demeanor and mindset with which to handle it - i can tell you will do just fine with all this

staying focused and purposeful in a time of loss is also the best way to get through it 

👍👍👍

Sorry Dill those are my real life expereinces with Estate sale folks. I could care less about this womens equipment i really do not need any of it. I personally had to have an estate sale for my moms possiesions and we were completely ripped off 15K dining room sets they sell for $100 as an example. 10K couches for $50 and so on . Ridiculous. Then I had an estate sale when I moved three years ago. Downsizing and so didnt need all of my belonginings any longer. All they had were junk dealers looking to steal my belongings. Offering me $150 for a custom butcherblock that is $1500 easy if you wanted to buy one yourself today. Offering me $100 for my 67 Blue Sparkle Slingerland Drum kit and upset I didnt take itt even when a guy offered $150 and I didnt take I said listen, These are Zildjian cymbals from 50s and 60s stamped markings , 5 lug snare etc... all classic pieces each worth $100 a piece easy and the snare goes for hundreds. Net net these people were thieves as I even sold stuff gave them the money and then it wasnt on the report they provided.

In three days the sold just garbage and stole money from me for sure. Their buddy came back took all of our china, extra dishes in the containers I had them in which were not for sale and they said he would only pay $100 , BS. The 5 containers he took were worth more than $100 to replace

Horrible results from these folks.. In two days I sold allthey didnt on FB marketplace and made tripple what they brought in. My drum kit went for $700 as an example which was fair to a guy that is going to part it and sell it .

Now to me buying, I attend these estate sales looking for vinyl and audi grear that might be interesting. Every single seller has their following of people and they give them deals and steals. I see it everytime I am at these sales. The buyer greets the estate sales person and then she or he points them to the product they put aside and they do a deal. Last one the estate sales person and the buyer where trying to figure if the HO Scale trains were the ones worth a bunch of money while I was standing right there.

Maybe you are on the up and up but my real life experience with Estate sales folks is they are all crooks . I stick by going to local audio shops or online specility guys to get an idea of value then sell how you wish
