I tried to move quickly given that collectible-computer dealers are known
to lurk and strike based on these tips. Alas:

Unfortunately, you're a couple months late :( I've got to find time to
update that list and remove that stuff. This represented 20+years of
collection of "stuff" from the company I founded in 1973 (not HOPCO,
another one), and others there wanted to shut down the storage facility we
were using. Well, they wanted to shut it down for a long time, that's why
I listed the free stuff. It all went into a couple of BIG (30'x8'x6')
dumpsters this Summer. I hated to see it go, but the "metal mongers" came
and picked a lot of it back out for the scrap metal value alone. Sure
wish it could have gone to someone into electronics like you.
