Hi Gill,
I hope you can try out the projector and view some films - you might enjoy doing so, and even if you end up selling at least part of what you have, it would be helpful for you to know if the projector is working properly and whether the films are in good condition, as this will be important in relation to their value. It sounds like you have some nice titles, but it's fairly likely that colour films printed before the early 1980s will be faded, which will significantly reduce their value. Any that are faded will be various shades of red and pink.
Does the projector have an instruction manual with it? If so, it shouldn't be too difficult to use. The speaker would be positioned near the screen and plugged into the projector. The amplifier might be useful in a hall, but you would not need it if screening films at home. The 2.66 lens indicates that some of the films are likely to be in scope (i.e. the picture will be twice the width of a normal film). It makes the screening of them more complicated but if you have a scope screen, you could give it a try if you have something to mount the lens in front of the projector lens. But unless you wanted to keep any scope films in the collection - or buy more - it's debatable whether it's worth keeping the lens. The Craven Backwinder is a specialised device only of use to film-makers, so unless you had a camera and wanted to shoot some Super 8 with superimposed titles, you may as well sell this, although it's not very valuable.
I hope that helps but don't hesitate to ask any further questions.
