Need Caring Home for Mac Powerbook 160

[Son of MacLover]

Hello, please forgive protocol mistakes --first time on any "forum". I have a Mac Powerbook 160 (complete with all manuals and Start-up Disks), and Macintosh Color Display (Model M1198LL/A 14" Color) with connecting cables for the Powerbook, and WriteMove II Portable printer (complete withmanual disks and some print ribbons all from GCC Technologies) with connecting cables for the Powerbook, and a carrying case which carries the Powerbook and the printer.
The Powerbook works although the screen is "squirrelly"; the printer and monitor both work --although I have not tried battery power on printer or 160

My father loved his Mac so when he died in 1995 I used it for several years then put it in the closet where it has been since 1998. I didn't want to dump it at a recycle center but all the "freecycle" responses my son got to his listing sounded like "target practice" folks (e.g. "Has the glass on the screen and monitor been busted yet?"). I want to find it a home where it could be useful in some way.

I'm not asking for your 160, just wished to mention that I also had that Apple monitor and WriteMove printer, along with a PowerBook 170.

To the uninitiated, the printer was ac/dc, same color as the early PBs and was about the size of a 11" piece of two by three.
What I remember about it was the PB 170 power supply became squirrely and after looking at the specs I successfully used the printer's power supply on the PB.

edit: The 170 didn't have a display connector, so I obviously never used it with the Mac Color Display. Must have been my first 520 I was thinking about.
