[AJD] too many? what to keep and why?

[The Allen Family]

Dunno about that:  using 1, 3, and 4, my A and B ARE the core of my 
collection (well, to be honest, they are the ENTIRE collection) because 
I started out with something like this very advice in mind.  The A runs 
and works but needs TLC; the B needs a thorough going through.  If 
somebody threw an H at me, I wouldn't turn it away, but I really don't 
see a need for more.  Both the A and the B have been in the family for 
decades (the B longer), and I have spent quite a few hours on both.
