Vintage theater audio

Here’s a small sample of some stuff leftover from the RadioShack days and a few pics of things I need help identifying. Most of what’s left are TV’s and TV parts. And also several boxes full of random parts like circuit boards, etc. I included a pic of a RadioShack catalog I found from 1988. It’s a long shot, but if you have a piece of electronics that was sold by RadioShack around that time period and you’re missing a part to it, there’s a small chance I might can find it for you.

6th pic looks very interesting, tube guitar amp chassis in a home made box? Those old pc terminal things are quite valuable too, a pain to ship tho. Definitely worth looking in to all that stuff, I see quite a lot of money to be made

Guitar amp was my thinking also. It reminds me of a Peavey tube amp I had several years ago. The sad thing about all those vintage TV’s is that some tweaker took most of them apart to get the copper coil, but in the end just left the whole pile of copper which might total a pound at best. All that work for a few ounces of copper, and then just left it there.
 
Incredible stuff, thanks for sharing!

I was fortunate enough to come across some similar gear, not quite as rare as what you have, but based around similar Shearer-era horns. The 9457 bass horn is a monster (I should know, there's one sitting in my living room) but does it's job beautifully. Do feel free to reach out, I may have some resources that could help.
