Hi all...... a newbie here, jumping right in
to ask for assistance please. The topics and people
here seem to have diverse wisdom. Regarding electronics,
I have neither! I am trying to work with a person
who has some very vintage electronic equipment,
from a Calibration Lab. This stuff has the dates
of 40's and 50's. Still in working condition. It
is Calibration Lab quality, never used in general
production. With a desire to possibly part with
this equipment, what are routes to investigate?
I already have inquiries to some of the sites given
here, who offer to buy/sell various items. One item
in particular is the Sensitive Research Instrument
Co., Universal Polyranger. Let's even try the
photo thing on this one. Click image to enlarge.
How about an original Weston Voltmeter or
Ammeter, documented 1944? Does such equipment
draw an audience on ebay? There are also museums
hosting such equipment. If you had this, what would
you do? Again, the question leads to advice concerning
such a variety of vinatge equipment. Thanks to any/all
who care to respond.

Good day. There are several technical museums around
that United States that might be interested in getting
that equipment. Or for that matter some universities
might be interested.
I doubt if you would
get much money (if any) for the equipment, but if
you donate it to a museum or university you can
ask for a tax credit based on the value of the equipment.
Based on your description and the photo
you sent, I would say you might be talking $2000
tax credit if you donated the equipment.
Good luck
Michael

Thanks for the input. Your suggestion is one that
has possible merit in this situation. My volunteer
assistance turned out to be more work than anticipated,
but an unusual challenge.
