I'm familiar with the Brociner because it's been showing up on one of my searches for a very long time, and since he's asking for about double what everything is worth it's possible that most of it has a similar eBay history.

If he's a collector that's now just trying to sell the collection, then he's probably been at it for a long time. I've been collecting for a very long time and if I went to sell my collection it would look kind of like selling the contents of a museum.

I am not familiar with the one he is selling. This is the one I am talking about. The second page is here:

I would be overjoyed to find just one to go with my Brociner preamp and my Radio Craftsman amp for a mono system. Plans are on the web, but it looks like a very difficult build! Dave

Pieces have be on Ebay and other venues for, posted on August 30, 2015 at 12:28:13

a long time. And at inflated prices. My guess is either retirement funding, or sell now to be sure that his heirs don't liquidate the collection for pennies on the dollar,
