I missed a lot of this because g-mail decided to bounce some e-mails. I would like to make a couple of observations:-
1. Many real accredited museums have a smaller percentage of their artifacts on display than private collectors. In the UK both TNMOC and the Science Museum Group have large quantities of hardware that is not displayed. The science museum usually catalogues it but it is not really helpful if you can't see it. 2. All the private collectors I know are very happy to show and demonstrate what they have. It might not be catalogued so well but generally they want to show it off.... Dave G4UGM (Now feeling guilty because what I have is neither catalogued or on display)
