Not to wander too far off topic and IANAL but I'd suggest that *anyone*
who is worried about the fate of their collection (or anything in their
estate for that matter) talk to a lawyer and have their wishes recorded
in their will (you do have one?). That's what they're for.
YEs, and they also charge a lot of money for this sort of thing. Enough
that I'd probably have to sell at least one of my larger machines to pay
for said will...
