[NJARC] David sarnoff office suite fire sale

[Ray Chase]

If your goal is to raise money to help the museum transition I would suggest 
immediately contacting a reputable auction house who could remove all the 
furniture and hold it for a scheduled auction.  I'm sure that the stuff is 
high quality albeit a bit old and possibly a little shop worn but it does 
have the Sarnoff cachet that could be exploited by a knowledgeable 
auctioneer.  No offense but most of us radio collectors know little about 
quality furniture and rugs and would rather buy a radio than a desk or a 
chair.  Again, if raising $ is the primary goal then radio club members are 
a poor choice to bankroll this.  Having David Sarnoff's desk might be a 
bragging point but at the end of the day a desk is a desk.  And I understand 
that the MAN himself spent little if any time at Princeton. If I can be of 
any assistance in the short time remaining I will try to help.
