In the Electronics Recycling Forums, at the bottom, there is a topic for Vintage Electronics. Though this really not a vintage system, things like it show up there, from time to time, I've noticed.
As to the receiver, there isn't much comparative sale data on it. Nearly everything I found for this specific model was coming out of Europe (makes sense, as JVC is a UK brand). But similar models are selling for about $100, brand new, in a few places. If it were me, I'd put it on Craigslist for about $75 (or less, if it's in very used condition) and see if that wasn't the fastest turnaround. Units like this are generally pretty hefty for shipping and without knowing if you could expect someone to kick down another $20-40 for the ship, after the sale price, I would be leery about eBay.
Really, it's about 10 years old and doesn't have USB or HDMI I/O, which getting to be pretty standard for A/V equipment. I tear down one or two units like this per week (give or take) and the thrift stores are full of them. If you had an old Kenwood or Marantz, that would be a different story. But as long as you don't have to pay to get rid of it, it's probably an OK deal.
Okay, thanks for the help :) :D
I checked ebay which you should do first to assist you in determining resale value. If you don't know, on ebay when you do a search there is a "sold" box to check which will give you real values. On your item only international sales show up. To me this doesn't mean I could not resell it but its less likely.
Scrap value on things like this is very low. The Al heat sink(s) and transformers can be scraped and there is a little wire but over all pennies plus the pennies for the shred value. This is why you will get the responses you got.
Always much more money from resell for reuse than for scrap. 73, Mike
what I found with JVC equipment that sells is high end VCR's and DVD Recorders and they need to have a tuner
