You can always donate it to a museum or something.

Apparently, it is not easy to find an institution willing to
accept a large lot of what they see as *very* specialized
equipment.

A "typical" technology museum is much more interested in breadth
(Apple, Commodore, Sol, etc., etc.) than in depth in a single line
of machines--even if it is the single most influential machine in
the pre-standardized world of computing.  ;-)
