How many times when watching somewhat at the Tv you said: "Please REPLAY that Scene...." You couldn't until you have had a machine called VideoRecorder........The TeleVideoRamaMuseum shows the Hi Tech behind Old Video Tape Recorders of all types VHS V2000 Beta VCR to show, one more time, what real technology engineering was instead of todays DRM gizmos Crap. Site under development, coming soon !
There are lots of vintage electrical and electronic items that have not survived well or even completely disappeared and forgotten.
Or are not being collected nowadays in proportion to their significance or prevalence in their heyday, this is bad and the main part of the death land. The heavy, ugly sarcophagus; models with few endearing qualities, devices that have some over-riding disadvantage to ownership such as heavy weight,toxicity or inflated value when dismantled, tend to be under-represented by all but the most comprehensive collections and museums. They get relegated to the bottom of the wants list, derided as 'more trouble than they are worth', or just forgotten entirely. As a result, I started to notice gaps in the current representation of the history of electronic and electrical technology to the interested member of the public.
  Following this idea around a bit, convinced me that a collection of the   peculiar alone could not hope to survive on its own merits, but a  museum  that gave equal display space to the popular and the unpopular,  would  bring things to the attention of the average person that he has   previously passed by or been shielded from. It's a matter of culture.   From this, the Tele Video Rama Web Museum  concept developed   and all my other things too. It's an open platform for all electrical   Electronic TV technology to have its few, but NOT last, moments of fame  in a working,  hand-on environment. We'll never own Colossus or  Faraday's first  transformer, but I can show things that you can't see  at the Science  Museum, and let you play with things that the  Smithsonian can't allow  people to touch, because my remit is different.  
There  was a society once that   was the polar opposite of our disposable,  junk society. A whole nation   was built on the idea of placing quality  before quantity in all things.   The goal was not “more and newer,” but  “better and higher" .This attitude   was reflected not only in the  manufacturing of material goods, but  also  in the realms of art and  architecture, as well as in the social  fabric  of everyday life.  The goal was for each new cohort of  children to stand on a higher  level than the preceding cohort: they were  to be healthier, stronger,  more intelligent, and more vibrant in every  way.
The society that prioritized human, social and material quality is a Winner. Truly, it is the high point of all Western civilization. Consequently, its defeat meant the defeat of civilization itself.
Today, the West is headed for the abyss. For the ultimate fate of our disposable society is for that society itself to be disposed of. And this will happen sooner, rather than later.
OLD, but ORIGINAL, Well made, Funny, Not remotely controlled............. and not Made in CHINA.
