That's a beautiful kit, Darren. I agree with you, it shouldn't be broken up: it would lose a lot in doing so. Hopefully someone who appreciates it will step forward.
Actually, I do and I would but I have so much equipment on the shelf I just can't bring myself to do so. My uncle gifted me with a couple of his old Nikons and lenses last weekend ... and a Polaroid SX-70 too ... never mind all the other stuff. The equipment cabinet overfloweth once more. Sigh.
