I wonder what the curators at the Henry Ford Museum do as a matter of
practice. Lots of curator "practice" comes from art and antique museums
where you definately don't want to "repair" anything. Witness how on
Antiques Road Show they point out that the value is less if its a
piece of furniture that has been refinished.
However, the Henry Ford Museum tries to preserve technological
artifacts in working condition and I'm willing to bet that they have a
different set of rules than the average museum for how an item is to
be restored.
Has anyone ever contacted them for discussion?

not know this, so I do not blame you. It is common museum
practice when restoring objects.
In some cases museum practice seems a little odd, though. [...]
