Welcome to Rolf Bergendorff and his life's work, an electrical and radio engineering museum

I came into contact with radio listening at the age of 13 when a friend showed me his hobby of DXing. DX means that you listen to a radio station from somewhere and write down some times and program points and a little about how the reception was. You send this to the radio station. If they think that what you wrote down matches their broadcast, they send back a confirmation, a so-called QSL card.

This made me immediately start the hunt for the perfect radio to be able to listen to more stations. It simply happened that I bought up the neighborhood's stock of their worn-out and discarded devices and began testing and adjusting them and repairing them later.

Devices of all kinds and designs appeared and I began to collect them. As the years went by, I have more than doubled the number more than once. Since tape recorders, gramophones and TV sets have also appeared, these have also been given their due place in the collection.

On the website I show pictures and technical data of a few devices that are in the collections. As they are photographed, more pictures will appear here, so check back here from time to time.

At least 1000 of these will be able to be seen for real in the exhibition when the museum hopefully opens its doors in Skruv where we are located next door to Skuv's glassworks which is located in Lessebo municipality. When we have fixed the windows and our loading dock which some have complained about to the municipality.

You will get faster information about what is happening on the page if you subscribe to an RSS link.

We are currently having problems displaying Nordic characters on the website but hope to resolve this as soon as possible.

Sometimes there may be some errors here, usually in our translations and I hope you will bear this in mind. If you find something that is not correct in the text, I would be happy if you would let me know to "contact @ radiomuseum.se". The contact tab below has sometimes had problems with delivery.

Welcome! Kind regards, Rolf Bergendorff.
