Donate Equipment

Do you have any old retro equipment, books, magazines, or collectables tucked away in your basement or garage?

If the items are in good working order—or could be easily repaired—we’d love to hear from you. Your donations can help us preserve and share retro technology and memorabilia with future generations.

Please contact us before bringing in any donations so we can confirm that we’re able to accept them.

Thank you for helping us keep retro history alive!
