Any Hoovermatic Stuff?
Hmm, PA is only about a three hour drive from NYC, what a nice field trip this would make.
Here is an idea, why not make the elderly gentleman an offer of volunteers willing to come in, clean and catalog his inventory. Such a treasure trove of vintage appliance parts is rare these days, and would be nice if those really needing parts would have a chance before the big guys like Sunderberg swoop in and take the lot.
The elderly gentelman probably does not realise there is a decent market for vintage/antique appliances and parts and would also be a shame if family comes in and chucks the "junk" into a dumpster for rubbish.
