Well sadly it's looking like game over. By the

basement full of old equipment and boards, and a scrapper out in OH has
offered $6k for the lot, sight unseen, just on the hope that they can make
a buck on the gold and palladium content.
annnnd... right after I hit send on that, things start looking up again.
The guy responsible for this stuff doesn't seem to want it to get scrapped
any more than I do, and he got in touch with folks down at Cape Canaveral
(there are various ex-NASA things in the pile), then talked to the family
of the estate; it sounds like some of it at least might get donated to the
collection down there.
I'm not sure about non-NASA things at this point, we'll see - but it sounds
like there's interest now in not junking it, at least!
