This is something that has definitely crossed my mind a time or two. Thankfully my immediate family knows how valuable some of of KBs are & how much my collection of boards, parts, caps, etc. means to me so I doubt they'll get sold for pennies after my demise. I also have written a will of sorts (not notarized or officially legal) of who, where, or what for my things to go to or be done with. So hopefully the things that are important to me will not just be tossed out. Although this thread does remind me of a few clean outs of old abandoned office bldgs. I've done. The one we cleaned out around 2005 had a metric **** ton of old Model F, Model M, & ALPS boards we just tossed in the trash. I had no ideal about the hobby at the time & viewed them the same as everyone else at that time, just outdated electronics that nobody would have any good use for. We even offered them to a bunch of people who turned them down. When I think of it i wish I could go back in time, slap myself really hard on the back of the head, & tell myself "WTF are you thinking, take at least some of them home!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
