Two weeks ago my uncle passed away unexpectedly and left behind some well taken care of Altec (home built 416 woofer ,806 CD, and 511 horn), Mcintosh and B&O equipment. Since he had no children and no will, the items will be either divided up between my father, my other uncle(his brother), my self, or sold off. The B&O speakers and most of the Mcintosh items will most likely stay within the family given it's smaller size but we are undecided about the Altecs. My father and uncle I think are leaning on selling them off and I'm in the middle. This is the stereo that was the family gold standard for us since 1974 so there is some emotional attachment for us, but my father and uncle are in different places on gathering extra stuff at this point in their lives and I guess I can't blame them since I have small children and no place for them either. I'm leaning on letting them go given I have no room and the cabinets are made of trasite. I could make room for the components and do something later with them but they would most likely sit around for a couple of years till I could build new cabinets. The problem is in the future I don't want to regret the decision when remembering my uncle and his setup. Anyone have this situation before.
Thanks,
Scott
