Yeah, Richard, that's the sad thing about this hobby; it seems that few young people are interested in collecting and restoring these antiques. I will turn 70 this Fall. I really have nobody near me I know to whom to leave all my electronics gear. The same is true of hands on electronics engineers coming out of schools. Far too many are whiz kids with a computer; and are OK working with CAD; they can program in C++; and even have a pretty good grasp of the formulae and theory; but give them an Amphenol connector with the little solder cups on the back of the sockets or pins and they are out of their depth. Kinda sux to be a dinosaur and see your species dying out.
