Congratulations on your find! And some interesting background info. I see several keys to the building of your collection, things which have also been helpful to me in my "little" pile: 1) Make the right connections, 2) Be in the right place at the right time,3) Have a way to haul it, 4) have a place to put it.

Horror stories abound of stuff that was junked because nobody was interested in it. A piece of the puzzle is knowing what you are looking at. Maybe 6-7 years ago I attended my first hamfest; there was a club there selling donated items and late in the morning they announced that everything left was free for the taking. A lot of it was DuMont broadcast equipment chassis'. I have no idea what they were. That day I was tagging along with some friends (in a Mazda Protege) so I couldn't grab 'em.
