No one has responded, so I'll take a jab: do these things actually have
monetary values?  We're talking about fair market values, and they don't
have any.  I guess that's what you're asking...how do yhou determine value
for something that really can't have a value.
Do you really need to insure them?  Sorry, I'm not much help but perhaps
someone will take up the cause...

Any suggestions on putting values, for insurance purposes, on large pieces
of military and electrical  equipment; i.e.; radars, jamming devices,
cannons, torpedoes, etc?  In their day, some of these objects were part of
multi-million dollar systems.  They have a value if sold as scrap but I am
interested in a method of assessing their value as historical objects.  This
is not the kind of equipment you see on e-bay or at military shows.
