Per the article, looks like it was originally the grand prize for a VH1 contest.

Yar; oddball of the collection. Probably made it's way in there from Peter Max, former holder of said collection.

Nothing that isn't easily worth fixing given the value of the collection

Just curious
What would likely need to be replaced

My guess would be fluids, seals, gaskets. If they were stored out of the weather i would guess that a whole lot would go bad. Lubing everything up properly will probably save most of it.
