Citation very much needed. The vast majority of items in private collections, including the entirety of the vast majority of private collections, are unknown, uncatalogued, and utterly unavailable.
- asddubs 2y agoyeah, this reeks of confirmation bias. It's cool that Steve Jurvetson lets CuriousMarc play with his collection to this extent, and what we got out of it has been amazing, but I don't assume this to be the general case. Counterexample: The AGC they restored was sold and then never heard from again. Of course it must be said that they had the opportunity to restore it to begin with because it was privately owned. Although if you're into vintage computing, you'll see there's also museums who loan out pieces to youtubers to restore/make videos about.
