I'd be willing to bet the science museum has all the old broken scopes it needs.
Same thing with a university; they get donations of brand new equipment so repairing old equipment makes no sense. And we all know they don't teach this stuff any more.
What you need to find are people like us in your area.
Where do people like us hang out?
* Ham radio clubs
* Maker related activites
* Hacker spaces! They are springing up everywhere these days. Here's one website that tries to list them all:
Where did you say you were located?

But really, what you should do is a make a list, and post it here at
say 25% over the scrap value. Then you won't have to pay any eBay
fees or take the trouble to disassemble things.
If you can't do that much, I don't know why you're a list member.
No, actually I hadn't made up my mind... If I had, I would have
scrapped them and said nothing. That truly would be the easiest,
quickest, and most profitable thing for me to do. Stefan is
completely correct in his assessment.
I'm hoping that someone will be incensed enough at the idea
of these scopes being scrapped that they will make me a real
offer for the scopes, and haul them away.
If you all want a photo of them as they sit on the rack, I'll
get you one right away. I can even lift them out of the rack
and shoot a forklift photo from all sides if that will help
save them from the scrappers...
As to your scolding me for not doing enough... Talk is cheap.
Make an offer and bring a truck.
