I think any demand for them will keep going down as there are less and less people either interested or have the knowlege.
Looking toward current and future trends I suspect that the only real working (and purist) answer, as everything is going to online streaming, is to have a dedicated quality Pantry Transmitter (or similar in wired connection) linked to the computer sound output. This may use FM conversion for better quality but I think the core process should not really alter the basic radio (thoughts of a 'Borg' like creeping assimilation of radio circuitry - it really has to be kept original in my view). A bluetooth adapter could follow similar lines (not a system I have really used or know much about).
Some will be kept as exhibits although how to pick and choose?
It's maybe a time to put a price on them and hope someone snaps them up but that passes the issue on to someone else - too many radios for a small market and use so in the end they all go but it does give them a chance and at least raise a few pounds.
The FM angle looks good on principle but is it a short term fix? Although FM is often rumoured to cease transmission it hasn't yet but it's a rocky path. For instance, car connectivity to the Internet may make FM radio a luxury no longer required.
Just a few thoughts. I don't really have a definitive answer.
