Between such exhibits, of course, stands a rare collection of 206 typewriters among which is the oldest one - from 1889. Most of these machines I bought years ago from a retiree who collected them all his life and when he heard about our museum he asked me if I want them. The radios we currently have are borrowed from a collector, who also did not have enough room in his museum, but we are planning to purchase these 99 sets and extend the database with an additional 100 receivers.
A collection of 137 mobile phones and GSM is almost daily supplemented by an unused GSM. We are thankful for each donation, but we are really looking for some of the original types of phones, which the collection lacks.
The museum currently has 15 showrooms in the 479 m2 area and exhibits 4921 samples. We plan to acquire in the next years a facility with 130m2 and two rooms of 65 m² each. This way we can expand the museum yet again with another hydroelectric generator, multiple circuit breakers and disconnectors and instrument transformers with larger dimensions, as well as the old radio and television receivers, audio and video equipment and image material of larger dimensions.
In doing so, we are particularly glad that we are receiving praise from world-famous visitors stating that their observations are transmitted to their colleagues at home and abroad. This was the case again this year on a festive celebration of the 90th anniversary of Prof. Anton Ogorelec in Ljubljana - Slovenia, when Janez Zakonjsek and Alex Apostolov, when presenting their papers on protective technique, recommended to the eminent Auditorium also the tour to our museum.
This praise was transferred later also to the director of our company and he already approved annual action plan, where the main goal is a partial renovation and expansion of exhibition space to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the museum, which this year will take place on October 8th.
With regards to basketball we just embark on the European Veterans Championships in Ostrava in the Czech Republic in September and have yet to participate in the World Basketball Championship in Spain.
