I believe that if we all collectively lowball them, they will drop the price to be lower than $20k.
replyIt is unfortunate to see any museum close. I hope their assessment from the Texas Historical Commission succeeds!

The rack in this image appears to house a Texas Instruments minicomputer of some model, not sure exactly which. 980 maybe? Might be fun to play with, but not for $20K.

I have been to this museum, it is nice. If anyone can support it, please look into it and do so. Thank you.

Surely there is enough money in this city of Houston between airlines that operate here and the oil companies that they spend most of your ticket money on to keep this open?
Hopefully it can be preserved and continue it's life! There is hope: https://www.1940airterminal.org/news/texas-historical-commis...
There shouldn’t be any huge expenses, unless they were leasing the premises at market rate.
