This is going to be difficult is seems. My first search address, Google, comes
up with very few search results (long URL):

http://www.google.com/search?q=%22dedicated+chess+computers%22&num=100&meta=hl%3Dde%26lr%3D&safe=off

There are a lot of private "schachcomputer" homepages in german language, for
example:

http://www.google.com/search?q=schachcomputer+homepage&num=100&meta=hl%3Dde%26lr%3D&safe=off

But the best try, if you really want to buy them, may be ebay. Take a look at
www.ebay.de too, there are always many auctions due to the mephisto tradition.

Btw. for an virtual museum, I think it would be good to have a kind of standard
info submit form, or at least an example, presented at a web site. My suggestion
for the infos to collect would be (as a minimum):

complete model name
release date (year)
manufacturer
programmer
CPU
clock rate
program size
RAM size
wood or plastic?
sensor technique
major achievements (Comp WCh., etc.)
example game(s), if available (preferably tournament settings)

(and additional features, remarks, etc.)
