I have taken the time to type and document each tv and radio with a brief history, including marketing and cultural significance as well for each. In addition my grown kids have expressed keen interest in some of them and their names are on the apropriate envelope in each piece. The rest would be sold at the time with a knowledgable idea of what they have. Maybe even museum bound by that time. Mission acomplished!
Just trying to think ahead. Any serious collector should too. If your the last man standing for your prized restored collection the whole lot could be dumpster bound.
I have been around when folks pass and its often a shame when the family or the state empties the house, often in haste.
In a sense this is what happens when factories close. Theres no money to archive documents ,engineering papers, development samples and such. The building changes hands and the new owners "clean it out" or raze the site and poof gone for ever. Even the web pages we rely on and love could go away with the passing of just one key person.
Food for thought.
