Brian, As I'm sure you are aware, brand new Belden 9880 (genuine etherhose) is available if not exactly cheap. Nevertheless, I'm willing to donate 100 feet of the stuff to make the museum project work whenever that might be.

Bags are shelf worn, however all the parts are there.
Can't help with the install, but can contribute then to the Museum cause. Martin
