Museum / TV Props

[Simon Cyrene]

Before we embark on a lengthy google search, does anybody know of somewhere relatively local like a museum or a company that supplies props to Tv/Film makers, that specialises in entertainment.

We are clearing the family home and have found some old televisions, record players and radios in the loft. They are in to good a condition to skip but are now obviously obsolete. Doubt they have any actual value other than period charm.

Thanks for any help.

I would be interested in looking at the radios.

There is a Wireless/TV museum in West Dulwich and may be interested in the TV's.

I'll pm my number and can you ring me pls?

Thanks all for your suggestions.

kford: had thought of that but wanted to do something "different" with them

Louisa: I Live outside London now and family in F Hill/Sydenham borders so we are not so familiar with ED/Peckham these days. Can you elaborate in case the following doesn't work out.

Chick: have your phone number and will give you a call if the following doesn't work out.

Laur: thanks, that is exactly what we were looking for and will give them a try. Although I don't live in London anymore, I had no idea this place existed when I did! Seems it's been there 30/40 yrs. One of those hidden gems!
