[Milsurplus] Military Radios - LA County Estate - auction or scrap?

[Joe Connor]

 Since this is a governmental entity, they may not be allowed to simply donate it to a private radio club. Usually, property that a governmental entity wants to dispose of has to be sold at auction to the highest bidder. The only alternative might be the scrap heap. Before anyone tells this guy an auction wouldn't be worth it, we should probably know what the alternative (if any) to an auction is.

Considering the amount of chaff to wheat there, it doesn't look to me like an auction would be worth their time at all.
The HF receivers don't look too bad and deserve to survive. They should just donate the stuff to a local ham radio club
 
and let the club sign waivers to get the stuff out of there, let the club dispose of it with a percentage to a local charity.
 
Maybe pluck tubes from the FGC-1 units ? I don't know how hard or easy it is to get rid of old metal chassis etc. I took
 
some dead recent electronics to a recycling center yesterday and it's a whole new world, the current recycling rules,
 
particularly so in the smaller locales, where the recyclers apparently are in more of a fix.
