Hi Carl,
I think you may be being overly pessimistic. It only takes a very small percentage of the population to be excited by our old junk for there to be homes for it in the future and anyone thus excited will have no difficulty in understanding the circuitry.
I was a child of the 1950s and as a child the thought of owning a television set that was wholly designed and constructed with early 30s technology really excited me so I don't see why a small proportion of today's youngsters will not be fascinated by things that were built of stuff more than 20 years before they were born. Granted it might not be televisions. Perhaps old laptops or games consoles.
