Gentlemen:

I need to get your opinion.

For some years now I have been obsessed with the idea of starting a Radio and Television Museum here in Marlborough, Mass.

There is one in NY and I believe one under construction near Massachusetts but none in this area.

There are MANY empty buildings ( i,e, For Lease) in the area and I think that my collection would be a good start.

Of course I would have to get grants or some other funding to begin and to partially pay for the overhead costs (light, heat, rent , security). The ULTIMATE thing would be to have some non-profit organization actually DONATE a building to the cause.

This is just an idea now that I am getting older and may retire in another 10 years or so.

Any thoughts on the subject - what is the interest level??

Thanks
Lou

:Lou, You might check out the Vintage Radio and Communications Museum of Connecticut located in Windsor Ct. They do have a website. Google Ct Radio Museum for a link.

I like the idea but do it as a hobby not a way to make extra money. Most of the population will have little interest. Hard to believe since we are interested.

There is a guy in town with a store selling old clocks. Hardley anyone comes in to look at the clocks. He doesn't care as it's his hobby and would need a building anyway to store everything. Might sell a couple a month.

Don't be disappointed if not many view your radio museum.

Lou,

Perhaps you could arrange to have your collection permanently or semi-permanently displayed at an established radio museum. Or maybe a virtual museum on the internet to display your collection to the world.
