there are various museums and collectors on the web, and webrings and
dealers for the most popular. I recently tried to sell a Tandy 102 laptop
with 9k modem and an Amstrad PCW 8512 with double disc drive. Not quite ford
model T status yet, but I reckon in 50 years time people will go misty-eyed
about them ...
... though if anyone in the archaeological community has a use for them now,
I'll get less avaricious!

Isn't there a museum of computers somewhere? If not, why not!

As a general query is anyone out there collecting old IT kit for the purpose
of rescuing old data? (I've got a mid 1980's vintage ACT 'Apricot' if anyone
can give it a good home!)

Jim,
I'd suggest you contacted the ADS as they probably have the best experience
on this sort of thing,
