Default SK Kenwood stuff

I have been asked to roughly value a small collection of chiefly Kenwood stuff from a recent SK in the family.
would appreciate informal valuation guesses from the panel to corroborate (or otherwise) my vague idea.
the core gear appears to be:

Kenwood TS450S (c/w MC-60 desk mic & stock fist mic)
Kenwood SP230 standalone loudspeaker
Kenwood PS53 power supply
Trio (I think this is Kenwood by another name) antenna tuner AT-230

plus some bits and pieces - Kent straight key (I think its a Kent), SWR meter, books including Les Moxon's HF antennas for all locations, marine VHF

Assuming working and tested ... if it is untested perhaps 40% off the price.

TS450S - £300
SP230 - £40
PS53 - £75
AT230 - £120
Kent key - £50

I would go for an online auction if your objective is to return money to the family.

Just state as untested ,as found and I think you will get some very good prices.

I would sell the MC-60 mic separately from the TS-450. Those mics seem to fetch £50-£60 by themselves.

If you know a local amateur who could run it up for you and get a few photos. A few truthful words like checked at 100W on 40metres might help selling it.
