Snellings Museum
Only just found this website, looks like mainly photos rather than detailed technical information, looks very interesting though, sounds like there is an actual museum as well.

Re: Snellings Museum
Yes, it is an actual museum. Visited it some years ago. At the time it shared offices with their business A/V division, but that has since expanded into separate premises. The plan was then to redevelop the site to be just a museum. Hopefully that has happened, and certainly judging by the website the ideas live on.

Re: Snellings Museum
The blurb implies that everything's been in storage since 2016.
What a lovely load of old stuff though, and brilliant photography (including chassis etc). It would benefit from having a few sentences about each item to read though, rather like Jon Evans' Jonz Valve Page. Loads of duplicates, by which I mean they have several examples of the same model. Scary how many of their items I actually own! Nick. |

Re: Snellings Museum
I found One Cassette player mentioned there - I am going to start a thread on it, which I could not find elsewhere on the net as such, which I found of interest and pleased at least there is a good website, we all know the cost and time of storage and display items is not insignificant so even it items are not viewable at least good documentation is a useful second best.

Re: Snellings Museum
I kinda like the way they've laid it out; it's clearly aspiring to be a proper 'museum' rather than just a collection. But it could be even better if the individual exhibits had listed the date-of-acquisition, where/how it was acquired, how much was paid for it/was it a donation [and if a donation, who was the donor], whether it is fully-working or just a static exhibit etc.
Museum-exhibits need authenticability/traceability. |
