BRITISH VINTAGE WIRELESS & TV MUSEUM

Five members of the club visited the Museum in Dulwich. Over a period of four hours we were treated to a tour of Gerry Well's house in Rosendale Road, Dulwich. The afternoon began with tea, coffee and bread rolls in Gerry's front room together with a demonstration of a working 405 line television and a history of the house. Gerry and Chris then took turns to show us each of the TEN rooms in the house - each packed with radios, televisions, record players and amplifiers from a bygone age - all accompanied by anecdotes of people who have visited the house and demonstrations of renovated items. Then Chris showed us a further EIGHT rooms in the sheds at the bottom of the garden! The whole experience was quite an eye opener !!
