Looking for place to donate unique Philco Philco J-1930 Prototype
#4

It's a vacuum tube set and it's over 60 years old.  My uncle acquired it for my parents when Philco was done with it, and my parents used it for 30 years.   When they gave up their house I took it, but never used it.  It worked when I got it, but I haven't turned it on in decades, so I'm sure the capacitors are gone by now.   I don't know what type of cartridge is in the changer, but if it's crystal that's probably gone as well, and the changer would probably need a really good cleaning before it would work properly.   I really hope to find a permanent home for it.   If I don't, I'll certainly keep it as long as I can, but I'm getting older, and none of my kids or grandkids would have any interest in it. I've written to a radio museum, the Smithsonian, and the now defunct Atwater Kent Museum, but none of them would take it because of its size.

Any suggestions for other possible homes for it would be appreciated.
