[Milsurplus] Japanese Radio help

I'm trying to help a widow identify  some WWII Japanese equipment for
eventual sale.  It's slow going but I've got three sets nailed so far.

The thing I need some help with is putting a value on some of this
gear.  I'm hoping there are some Japanese collectors among this august
group who may be able to help me, or, alternatively, who may be
interested in this equipment.

The first set is a Model 92, complete with both coil sets. The
receiver still has the US Naval Intelligence inventory tag still
attached.  You can see pictures of a similar set at:

The second is a Model 94 Mark3A.  This is the exact set that was
written up in Electric Radio magazine, Oct 97 issue.

Third is one of the Japanese HRO "copies."  I believe this particular
one is a CHI Mark 4.  It is also complete with both sets of coil
units.  I'm especially interested to know whether there was a
companion transmitter to this set.

Any help with any of these sets will be greatly appreciated.
