I agree that it's a real shame that no one has taken the reins and  
organized a home for that collection. I spoken to several local tape  
enthusiasts ( I live only 15 minutes from Stanford) that saw it when  
it was displayed before it's move to it's present location and they  
all said it was great.
Does anyone have any links to info about this recording gear?
