Good job! I read your original post and was following it when a guy called me to come look at some stuff today. Turns out he has a whole Crestron audio system sitting in a trailer. I paid him about $5 for the whole thing and got to thinking of the "more than scrap" angle. Conservative estimates based on searches tells me i can get a couple hundred bucks. We'll see....hope to have the same success you are enjoying. Thanks for the update.
