Vintage radio equipment? No problem!

Steve Granger, our production designer had a big task on his hands - a huge set build, a period piece, and, to top it all off a vast amount of vintage radio equipment to find. Lucky for us, we stumbled across Washford Radio Museum - which is choc full of radio and broadcasting equipment from years gone by. 

We've got to say with all the research we have done in the last few months - nothing prepared us for such a fantastic collection. Neil, the museum owner, has been a radio broadcasting enthusiast for his whole life - and has been diligently collecting and restoring the equipment on display for over 20 years. The museum is housed in an the old Washford Transmitting Station, and has a displays outdoor broadcasting units, microphones, switcher and broadcasting racks, transmitter valves and a huge collection of radios too - well worth a visit!!


Neil, the museum owner - very kindly loaned us some broadcasting racks for our set - and gave us quite an impressive history lesson too!
