Re: What to do with my collection
This question bothers most of us. My solution a few years ago was to identify a few good friends, each of whom would take on part of the task of disposal when I go. The main aim was actually to make sure the burden on my wife was minimised. The "collection" is split into the Pamphonic "museum", vintage radio, valve audio, testgear, amateur radio and "the rest". Each nominated friend gets to keep a few items from within their specialist area and arrange for disposal of the rest as they see fit. The Pamphonic "museum" goes to a descendant of Paul Taylor, co-founder of Pamphonic.
This brutal approach rather shocked my wife but she understands the thinking behind it.
This does not rule out donations to museums, but shares the work around.
