 I know the pictures aren't that good and the estate sale where they are starts Friday so they will probably be gone but maybe it would be worth it to try and go the second day?

 Top pic: amp is Knight (Allied Radio) 83 YU 777 aka KB85, preamp looks to be 83 YX 776. Both ~ 1958. Amp is pretty decent circuit wise (Mullard 5-20 variant) but uses shitty phenolic PCBs so trace lifting is common. Looks like original EL37s and GZ34s are present and may be worth more than the amp/iron. i.e. buy it for the tubes assuming they're good. Preamp is full featured but complex and uses the same circuit board type and remarkably inferior PCB type rotary switches.

Bottom pic: speakers look like EV "Aristocrat" cabinets but could be loaded with just about anything driver-wise. Caveat emptor here. No idea on electronics.

 in the first pic on the left it looks like a phase linear something, a tuner perhaps.

The bottom pic looks like a Dynaco tuner and the speakers are Jensen corner loaded types with a 15"

Pictureguy can identify what looks like photo developing equipment in the first pic

 I agree with Steve O. The speaker cabinets look exactly like EV Aristocrats, (I have three). The Aristocrats were made both as factory units and also as kits. Since the cabinets appear to be different than the factory built (finish and grill cloth) they most likely are a kit built cabinet. We need to see the inside to determine the drivers used.


 

the "tuner" looks like a lower-end Kenwood receiver to me, FWIW (nt), posted on May 19, 2022 at 05:31:49

Thanks all, don't think I'll go out of my way. Probably will be gone anyway. nt, posted on May 19, 2022 at 09:53:33
