[MRCA] Tubes and miscellaneous for museum ships and military museums

[Al Klase]

Hi Tom,

I'm a member of two intertwined organizations here in New Jersey,  The 
InfoAge Science/History Learning Center (http://www.infoage.org/) and 
The New Jersey Antique Radio Club (http://www.njarc.org/) .  NJARC has 
established a communications history museum at the Infoage site at 
former US Army Signal Corp Camp Evans.  The museum involves three rooms 
of military radio gear.  NJARC also runs a "tube program" to support 
member's radio restorations.  We accept tube donations, clean and test 
them and pass the on to club members at a very reasonable rate.

I'd sooner see the tubes go to the club tube program, where they'd do 
more immediate good, but InfoAge is a 501-C3 corporation, so if a tax 
write-off is of interest, InfoAge could provide a receipt.

So, consider our hats thrown in the ring.

Regards,
Al
