Wow, well I didn't really expect the response I've received already. 
As I stated before, I'm just trying to figure out the best way to sell these.  From the amount of PM's I've received, I may be able to sell through this site and not mess with ebay or an auction house.  As for all the questions about pricing, I am being very truthful when I say I am open to reasonable amounts as long as they are fair.  I'm not giving these away, so please don't think I'll sell the the RC-81 for $1000, but I'm also not going to try to sell for ridiculous amounts, like $13,000 for the RC-81,  just fair prices where the buyer and seller are both happy.  I do know the current values, but I'm willing to give some reasonable deals to move them on to other collectors.
 
To make it as fair as possible to all the inquiries I've received, I'm open to your offers. 
You tell me what it's worth to you and we can go from there.  Send me a PM with your offer of what you would pay and if it works, then it works.  I'm not much for dickering back and forth, so I think this is the easiest way for both sides and to keep it fair for everyone on this site, plus I have a few other collections I need to start selling off and won't have much time for going round and round on pricing.. 

Thanks everyone...

I like your rational and appreciate the opportunity to even have a chance to purchase from you.. I have a few questions which I'm sure many others do as well.
one: can you post a picture of each? just so we can see the machine a little better?
Two: maybe tell us who restored them, since most of us know most of the restorers out there, it will tell us the quality of the restoration by whom it was done by.

Thank you for the opportunity and look forward to dealing with you on a few machines.

Looks like a very nice collection of machines & I like the '63 split-window I see in the foreground too!
