Thanks for the clarification. I recognize that dealing with estate matters can be a challenge for all concerned and I’m sure the family appreciates your willingness to help.
A decade ago, I helped the widow of a neighbor ham dispose of a LOT of gear, antennas, coax, test equipment, and a HUGE junkbox (ham-speak for a stash of parts to build and repair). It was a LONG process. I began by building a spreadsheet of all the gear, antennas, and the major parts. I then did the homework of finding the selling price of everything for which I could get data. Sites like ebay, eham, manufacturer-specific reflectors like this one. He had a LOT of tubes, vacuum caps, power amps, power amp parts, etc. I got advice from a member of our club who specialized in collecting tubes, from power amp builders.
I did NOT attempt to sell to resellers -- that's giving away part of the proceeds of sale that should go to the estate. I spent weeks cleaning out and sorting through his workshop. Local hams climbed towers to down antennas, then broke down the towers, rolled up coax. Local hams bought a lot of stuff. Once that was all done and the big stuff was sold, several of us took all the "hamfest" items to several large outdoor swap-meets.
A complete listing of the Elecraft gear, including all the modules, crystal filters, etc. should produce advice from this reflector of its value.
