The first few years of this century I got a bit carried away with acquiring a lot of vintage audio gear. Some of it has been pictured on my site for several years...

... while most of the overall acquisitions were not setup, photoed, etc.
At the time I was basically thinking I would put 3-4 systems around various parts of the house and garage, plus provide vintage systems for my 4 kids who were or soon would be coming to an age where they might appreciate a nice vintage sound system. Well over the years that followed, lots of things changed and much of the original plans have gone by the wayside. Several of the components have been in regular or occasional use, but much of what I acquired has set on shelves.
In recent years I have thought that I would get my act together and see about selling of a good bit of what I had on eBay along with getting started there again with the vintage manuals business. But every time I look at eBay with the thought of starting to list things, I about puke at all the bullshit rules, limitations, fees, and their extreme bias "against" sellers so that even total scumbags buyers can have a "good experience" while ripping off honest sellers. Working on eBay used to be a fun thing to do and I got acquainted with lots of nice folks and have had lasting relationships with many of them. So far I haven't been able to force myself to take the plunge back into listing on eBay as it seems to be a total shithole for many small sellers.
But... I would like to begin doing "something" to begin the process of divesting some gear. So I thought I would ask on the most friendly forum I know and ask if anybody here would be interested in my Series 20 Pioneer U-24 Program Selector. It's mostly in pristine condition as far as I know. I would need to check it out for certain, clean it up a bit if necessary. Printed reproduction User Manual and Service Manual (with color covers) would also be included as would free shipping to USA address. I'm thinking $500.00 would be a fair price.
