Hello,
I am new to this group and I know next to nothing about electronics.
But my 90 year old father, who just passed away in March, was an
electronics enthusiast and a ham radio operator. Because he wanted to
know how computers worked, he built his own about 3 years ago and it
worked perfectly. Anyway, what I'm getting at is that he left a
workshop full of electronic stuff of which I have no idea what is what.
He has some old instruments and old electronic manuals. One book from
1972 is about computers. What I am hoping to find out is how I would
find someone to come over and look at this stuff to see if there is
anything of value or is it all scrap to be recycled. I would hate to
scrap it only to find out that someone is looking for some old
instrument that he may have, or an old manual.
I appreciate any help anyone could offer.
Thank you,
cznative


How about listing some of the instruments and your city and state?
