The Search For, Preservation and Archival of Vintage Toys.

Hi, I'm VTR Dave. A Brit on a mission to curate a high-quality and diverse collection of vintage toys, known as the VT aRchive.

A homage to the iconic toys of the 70s & 80s to be shared with as many enthusiasts as possible, right here on this channel. And who knows, perhaps in the future, on display in a public space like a museum. Now, wouldn't that be something!

Subscribe to stay updated as I search for vintage toys, lovingly restore them, delve into their history, and piece by piece, construct the VT aRchive.

As always, thanks goes out to everyone who supports the channel. Every view, like & comment is appreciated.

Stay safe & cheers!

I was hoping to publish my Sandown Toy Hunt video this evening, but technical difficulties have slowed progress. But have no fear, a video will be published tomorrow - Monday!! 👍

For those who are interested, I recently upgraded my phone and this was the first time I used it for video. However, all the footage came out really washed out in my editor. Thankfully I found a workaround but will need to understand what on earth is going. I also had a new gimbal, but hated it 🤣

To be honest, between the flaky gimbal, washed out footage and a late night before the show I'm surprised there's a video at all 🤣 But, as you know from the restorations, there's nothing like a challenge and patience always wins!! 🤘
