Definitely increase.  There are many people who would pay more for 
an upgraded antique stereo projector.

Many people don't even know that a "new stereo projector" is even a
choice... (and even if they knew, most would be socked at the price
tag.)  Not many people collect such a large and heavy (and basically 
pretty ugly) things as stereo projectors.  As a matter of fact, many 
stereo projectors have ended up in the garbage.  I know that for fact.

Sounds like you are in the right track!
