Anyone care to
give some advice?
None other than "Go for it!" :)
About 5 years ago I found a Flexowriter in L.A. on eBay. Nobody bid on
it, for some reason, and I ended up with it for $50. I was thrilled to
get it, but after a while I had to admit to myself that I just didn't
have the time or skill to restore it (it had some minor rust and had
been in an attic for 30 years) so I wrote to the Computer History Museum
to see if they wanted it. I assumed they wouldn't, I figured they
probably had pallets of them, but to my surprise they really wanted it.
So, that's where it ended up (and I got a tax deduction, win-win!)
If you have the space/time/desire, and the opportunity, definitely do
it!
I agree 100%!
