    About Me

    Hi my name is Andrew Beer, I am 33 years old and I collect and restore old technology. I am currently on a full time preaching and theology course. I am also working part time for Christianity Explored as an IT technician.

    Why I Collect what I do

    I like collecting old telephones because they are pleasing to the eye, but they do not really present a technical challenge to get them working, this is why I enjoy restoring old television sets. Televisions really do present a challenge and it takes ages to get a set working with no faults at all. I am not so keen on old radios because I do not listen to the radio much anyway, but I do watch my old TVs regularly. I also have a few unusual items in my collection, I guess that I have odd items because I generally like anything old.

    Five and a half years ago I became me a Christian. This has meant a change in my outlook and the importance of collecting generally. The events leading up to my conversion made me re-evaluate everything in my life, and since the conversion I have been doing that again in a different way. My collecting will continue, but the amount of time and money I spend on it and the type of things I like have changed.

    I shall be maintaining the site, but with a slightly different feel. Hope you enjoy the site.

    Here is a picture showing the stack of televisions in my room.
