They're not hurting for the cash, so I think they just want it gone.
If I knew my son would have any interest in it when he got older, I would consider getting it going and leaving it sitting in my own basement. My concern there is I don't see myself ever using it and if/when I pass it on, my son will care about it as much as I do. I think it's an awesome piece and really shows how much things have changed in 80 years, but it's just not of any value for me to keep. I prefer modern sound and modern technology.
