That is just way cool....the engine, the fixture and especially the control pannel.

As mentioned take a lot of pictures. Of course it's your call, but if it was me, I think I would try to find a collector for what's left after you pull the engine. there is an old wood working machine site that this would probably generate a lot of intrest on.
