I would google to see how much they might be worth as is or restored. I had a turntable restored last year and the repairman said he had customers willing to turn me a nice profit if I put it up for sale. Otherwise I’d donate the items back.

As far as the CD’s, I downloaded all the music to an SD card and can pretty much play everything off of my phone (Sorted by artist, genre, etc). I even digitized all my old vinyl too. Good luck!
