Help! My father is selling his factory (formerly a '30's roller
rink that deserves to be restored; you should see the floor!).

He was involved in the early development of TV. He used to
manufacture television receivers in the early '50's, then
specialized in copper wire deflection yokes, degaussers,
and antennas.

The factory is filled with heavy equipment; a machine shop,
wire strippers, machines I don't know the function of. There are
great work benches (heavy metal brackets), tons of metal
desks, file cabinets, etc.  Millions of resistors/capacitors
in every size. Bakelite insulators.

Journals (_Proceedings of the Institute of Radio Engineers_)
and manuals dating from the '30's. A set of technical publications
from Sylvania (_Engineering Data Service_ 1957).

Someone must want this stuff. His foreman from another factory
is saving the more generic equipment, so it's mainly the
heavy, obsolete things, that are left. And all those resistors....8-(
