KB Museum.
I was sad to see the late Mike Edwards site has disappeared.
Does anyone know if the content has been archived ? |

Re: kb museum
Not quite the same but much of Mike's collection is in Radiomuseum.

Re: kb museum
I had left a page from that site open on my browser from the previous day and when I next went on my laptop and tried to follow another link from the top menu I got a 404 error. Then I discovered the whole site was down!
I hope all the material on it has been archived somehow. I think I saved a few catalogues from there, if we need to collate what we can! |

Re: KB Museum.
In case this invaluable resource goes down (I was friends with Mike and bought a few of his sets when he decided to disperse the museum; we had a mutual interest in KB) I made a local archive of it using wget.
It has occasionally dropped off but as has been pointed out, Mike's museum was on Radiomuseum as he was one of the staff there. |

Re: KB Museum.
Indeed - I remember towing a KB LG40 radiogram from West Yorkshire to the services at Stansted for him, where he bought me lunch!

Re: KB Museum.
I also had 2 or 3 of Mike's sets when he started to disperse them.

Re: KB Museum.
I think Mike's website went offline for a while probably as Gill had an a lot to cope with after Mike's passing and didn't renew the domain.
Sadly Mike was taken from us all too soon  He was a genuine guy and helped me dismantle a Cossor Gram in a barn as well as hold onto a couple of sets for me. In the last couple of years he started to disperse his collection and got into CB and breeding pigeons. His website is a great piece of work. Cheers Mike T

Re: KB Museum.
I used to visit them from time to time and there was always a warm welcome from them.
Sadly missed. |

The kbmuseum.org.uk domain name is due for renewal on 13th Feb 2023 so we will see in a few weeks if someone is still paying to keep it going or if it will quietly die. Hosting is obviously still being paid for although that may have been annual. |

Re: KB Museum.
Mike was of immense help during my 'painful' restoration of a Kolster-Brandes MR10 - his knowledge of the range is irreplaceable, notwithstanding his patience and perseverance with my questions!
@Paul Stenning - is it possible to find out who is financing the website and how much it costs? Surely we should be able to pull together a crowd-funding type solution if it's not too onerous?

Re: KB Museum.
Unfortunately, it appears that Mike's KBmuseum is now offline.
