Opinions sought - restore & sell, or just sell?

Hi, all,

I've got a few vintage items I think I'm ready to part with, and I'm wondering what others' opinions are on whether it makes financial sense to restore before selling, or to just sell and leave that choice to a new owner?

The kinds of things I'm considering selling include a couple of basket cases - those I'd sell as is, but also some units in working condition that might need recapping and maybe aged or obsolete parts (i.e., selenium rectifiers) replaced.

Thoughts? Experiences either way?

Thanks in advance,

David
