The National Electronics Museum is not dead.  It has moved to a smaller location at Hunt Valley, just north of Baltimore.  They are only selling things they don't need.

Here is their main website.

Ray,

I had read, maybe on a plaque on the SCR-270 itself, that that RADAR was THE unit on Opana Point on Dec 7, 1941 that detected the approaching Japanese aircraft. I'm wondering if that got moved to the new QTH. It would be a shame if it gets misplaced again.

The National Electronics Museum was a true gem, Northrop Grumman was and may still be a major benefactor but over the last several years with Covid and everything else they have fallen on hard times. Among other things they had a complete SCR-270 radar system, examples of much of the first-generation airborne radar, tons of Electronic Warfare equipment, communications and aerospace. They were also an active museum in having at least one used electronics sale, electronic music and multiple guest lecturers annually. Due to money problems, they were forced to move to a smaller location last year, prior to that they had several sales of duplicate or other items that have been donated to the museum over the years. I have purchased lots of hardware and other artifacts over that period of time, lot of it got turned around and sold at the Hamvention, lot of it was one of a kind specialized hardware that was used in R/D and ended up parting out and using as foundations for other projects and some of it you just sit around the shop and look at like the huge General Radio Impedance bridge that I paid $20 for.

I will be there this weekend and know several others who will also be there. Will take some pictures but don’t know if I can do the quantity of what someone like Nick dose.

In the past when they do these sales, they do a open to the public event for a couple days, then bring in surplus contractors and whatever is left goes to Eastern Surplus who put almost everything on eBay so don’t think anything will be going into a dumpster.
