I'll second that.  'Modern' rigs tend to use a lot of proprietary
silicon that may be unobtanium in a few years.  It's happened.  Not to
mention the fact that they are not very easily repairable by the
'average' ham (defined here as someone who can fix all but the most
severe problems with a Drake, with or without advice from this list). 
I don't expect any of my Yaecomwoods to be functional on 30 years. 
Keep it. 

They'll have to pry my TR7 from my cold, dead hands....
