Ken....

No, I am not in business.  I have been going to hamfest's since the 1960s and thus have accumulated a lot of stuff.  I have been selling off a lot of if for the same reason as you.  But every once in a while I buy something.  I sold off a lot of my Millen stuff like my transmitter, power supply and modulator.  Only thing I kept from it was the Variarm VFO.

I also had a lot of Collins and still do but much of it is going yo go soon.  I have two KWM-1s and will keep one.  

73,

Michael
