Re: Changing the BVWS
The point was made earlier that a lot of us grew up with the technology we collect and restore. A pre-war radio or TV is still recognisable for what it is, and can still be persuaded to work, albeit not "plug and play".
A young person today may have limited exposure to modern equipment, much of which is deemed unrepairable and throwaway, but not the history, and certainly not the financial constraints that engendered our make do and mend mentality.
There will always be those who look back and think, what's that and how does (did) it work but they're submerged in a sea of information nowadays, no need to join a club, just pick up your smartphone. Yes, them again.
