They could still research technology, gather history and information etc without touching the set. There's probably some Philco tech bulletin somewhere descibing the set. Even art historians learn about artists, paint, history, political events of the time influencing the artists.
I dunno. Were it me, I'd grab a screwdriver and just pull the back off to see what's inside, even if it was being "preserved". Certainly if it's a Predicta, that back's been off before
