Yes, hello, I'm never far away! The Black Country Living Museum is actually planning a major expansion in the next ten years, to cover the 1940s-1960s era, and presumably they'll be looking to acquire artefacts to represent those time periods. I've already found them a late 1940's telly and a third round Ekco...

However, as a mere volunteer in the radio repair workshop, I have no control over what they are willing to collect. I do know that storage space is extremely limited and, like most museums, they are unable to display more than a fraction of their complete collection.

I'll alert the Curator to this news article. Who knows?
