Good deal if it all works! A black body Super A should be worth a bit and the K1000 (if it's in good shape) is probably worth close to $200AU alone.
The Auto124 is a nice flash. I've had one for almost 30 years and it still works great. Non-thyrister and not as powerful as the 285 but it has the swivel head which more than makes up. It died awhile back so I got a 285HV but it turned out to be just a dirty battery contact so now it's the Vivitar that languishes.
