The Atomicron is certainly a huge piece and sure it is rare. There is 
few people that I would think of that would consider it. In the best of 
worlds, it would end up in the hands of someone that would care enought 
about it to bring it back into shape. Very few would have the capability 
and love for it. It would be a neat thing thought. I wonder how one of 
those would measure up to what we have now, in modern comparision (you 
won't need to educate me on just how many development phases passed 
since it).

If he gets it sold, it most probably would end up as a collectors or 
museums old artifact monstrum. Not a bad one. I doubt any restoration 
work would be done.

Cheers,
