Do not let him throw these out. I love the old stuff and would be willing to pay shipping just to display this heretige. Please see if you can get some info on a model (build date, type, builders name and such and I would proudly display it with my collection. I don't have room for a whole lot but would adopt one complete (as possible) set-up. If it could be made functional I would even fly it at nostalga events.
