Well sadly it's looking like game over. By the sounds of it there's a 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!
