I'm sure there are museums that would be interested....but that rather depends on where you're located. I suspect most museums would want items to be donated rather than having to purchase them, which may be a turn-off for you given the time and money you've clearly invested. The only exception would be if your collection contained truly unique items.

The RAF Museum Hendon or the Yorkshire Air Museum at Elvington might be good candidates. Thinking a little more tangentially, the ELINT aspects might be of interest to Bletchley Park. Of course, if you live outside the UK then none of the above are really practical.

Not sure if this helps...

Also in the UK, The radio museum at Duxford may have an interest.

Good luck mate sounds a wonderful collection.

Hope it finds a good home where kids can see the ingenuity of their ancestors.
