I have quite by accident meet a charming 97 yr old gentleman who used too work closely Sir John logie Baird .....true really.... anyway this guy is very very frail and wishes to dispose of all this Equipment, he would rather it all goes too real enthusiast than to a dealer its his wish all cash raised is too go to MacMillian trust now my question
He has a liitle room that I can only describe as a time capsule from the early
1930's including several Avo 7/8s all in original boxes A very trick lathe,a trick looking machine for cable winding, bespoke coils,special smoothing chokes, a draw full of very old caps all documented in seal packets several boxes of valves ,loads of pre war valve books just loads of stuff,
any advise on how best to value this collection for him would be helpful
I should add that all this equipment is more related to his real passion,Valve radios he also has several very old radios and some very large valves that date pre WW1
