       | It won't let you look at the site if you're using Tor Browser. I

       | Silicon Valley used to have a museum of early radio at Foothill
       | College, the Foothill Electronics Museum. Arc transmitters, not
       | semiconductors. It was closed in 1991.[1] The San Jose Historical
       | Society has the items but they are not on display.

         | I've just checked over some photos I took during a visit to San
         | Jose from the UK in 2015 and there was an exhibition at History
         | Park titled "The Wireless Age - Electronics entrepreneurs
         | before silicon valley - Selection from the Perham Collection of
         | early electronics".
         | 
         | Even though it was a 'selection', there was a LOT of stuff on
         | show back then.

       | I hope it's backed up...

       | "I have off-site backups at several locations under the custody
       | of well-respected radio historians. I also have several hearing-
       | impaired persons who help with the major flatbed and Atiz
       | Bookscan digitizing projects. There is also cloud backup."
