Yes, this stuff still has value, do not throw it away. A quick look and I would think the Accuphase tuner and Nakamichi Dragon would be the easiest items to sell. You can search sold items in Ebay to get some idea as to prices that these items have sold for in the past. However, also pay attention to the condition.
As a buyer, there would be much skepticism on my part due to the working condition of all of these components. Gear can look fine, but not function properly. To sell straight out you would need to get plenty of photos and just put them up for auction to find out their value. If you want to maximize their value, they do need to be inspected by a qualified technician, if not the original manufacturer. For instance, the Krell amp may or may not need new caps, but it probably could use a good inspection to make sure at least the bias is set properly and hasn't drifted. Do the Wilson driver surrounds need to be re-coned? Is the Nakamichi properly aligned? Heads cleaned and lubricated? Same with the Accuphase tuner, is it properly aligned?
With accredited technical checks, this gear could fetch a good price. With a lot of questions about proper operation, this gear will not fetch nearly as much, in my opinion. Image how much faith you would have if someone were trying to sell you a 25 year old car that looked good on the outside. Now image that same car with lots of documentation of recent service history on the inside parts (new gaskets, seals, re-built engine and transmission). That should give you some idea of what a buyer is looking for.
As I said, if you don't want to deal with the headaches of having all of the gear properly serviced, you can always just put it up for auction and see what you can get.
Good luck,
John
