So I have a box of stuff. It could be all crap for all I know. My dad was into radios in the 70# and 80s if someone would help me look though them and see if I should junk sell use etc...View attachment 145233 edited to add I am in Milford NH

Best bet type in the make & model and see what they have sold for on ebay. By the pic nothing looks very valuable but somebody might want it as long as they work. CB radio is a dying art.
 
I can see an old Escort radar detector on the left side. Probably doesn't detect anything but X band so not really useful but may have nostalgia/collector value on ebay.

I see a CW keyer in the lower right area on its side. That would probably bring some good $$ on ebay.
 
I see well over a hundred dollars in there. Take care of that old morse key. If it's in good shape it's worth real money. The MFJ Versatuner isn't worth a lot, but they always sell. Take the cover off and make sure nothing looks like it's burned and the egg slicer capacitors don't have bent fins.
 
the Amcomm user manual is for a 2 meter 146.mhz radio could be useful for someone who just wants a radio maybe to use for a simplex base. It looks like from a google search it has no pl tone capability so it would be useless on all most all repeaters.

maybe donate it to the local radio club to help a new ham build a shack. but with such cheap baofeng radios coming from china. I wish I had access to those back in 2000 when I was first licensed.
 
I know old PORTABLE RADIOS (Transistors).

I see nothing in there.

As others have said, either list them on eBay (a lot of work, but you will get pretty much top dollar), or donate them.

SAVERS is a good outfit.

Or put them on the curb with a FREE sign.
