You know, I actually contemplated waiting to put in a bid on that after seeing this thread. However, I think the shipping alone would be more than I would recoup after receiving the machines and getting one or two decks in working order. I guess if I had the room to store them and had a use for those, I would do it. I've got 3 RT-909s that I have to get working again so that is going to be painful enough.
Well they’re called Asset Recovery Corporation. That should tell us something. A recovery is bringing back the bodies, while a rescue is bringing them home alive. I think I'll pass.
The punch line is that invariably these places will take such "scrap lot" and throw it into one underrated, undersized box with no padding and a few peanuts,... then it's really a "lot-of-parts" when you get it!
You just paid how much (?) to purchase and ship that mad jigsaw puzzle?
Anyway, I have enough project pieces for a lifetime, and don't need to buy into more headaches.
For someone, that gear lot may be a good deal. I see too much downside. Most of those decks are broken or thrashed. That would have to be a pickup deal. I'd never ship a mess like that,... and talk about expensive? No, let's not, so no thanks!

YEAH , Baby!, ... bodies, bodies and more bodies, that's what my "lab" is hungry for, and any-"body" who happen to end up in my "lab" will sure cry for a rescue, but my vise' jaws are tight and blades are sharp and there'll be no hope, heh heh
If it was local I'd bid for it without long thinking. Also I'm currently hunting mostly specifically for some dead and untested in unknown condition telphone line test equipment from 60s-70s made by NEC and such... those are filled with good quality stuff and that's where you get UTC audio transformers from , but - TsssssssSHSHSHSHSH!, don't tell anybody, heh heh
btw, Advanced Recovery Inc was one of my "fav." eBayer, found some good bodies there, it's also close so less shipping cost waste.

Bodies full of goodies,
here they come ...
