hi rich,
the ugly truth is: items of interest to the time nuts are being  
thrown away.
persons outside this group think it's ham radio stuff and don't think  
it's worth to be put out for sale, if they think about it at all.
the term 'technical antiques' isn't widely spread in the mass market.
try to take a look behind the house/garage, maybe you'll find what  
you are looking for.
even the industry itself does this. e.g. in the early nineties,
patek philippe threw the remains of their 'division electronique'  
into the trash container.
today the rare early quartz clocks that have survived are on sale at  
auctioneers.
strange thing is, same auctioneer is selling silver salt and pepper  
shakers and old furniture ;-) yuk!
happy hunting!
