Welcome
to
another
update,
on
the
Ditchburn
Website
and
Museum,
Thanks
for
all
the
great
comments
from
people
that
watched
the
Ditchburn
Museum
onthe
BBC
Antiques
Road
Trip,
the
BBC
did
a
grand
job
in
telling
the
Ditchburn
story
and
it
was great to work with the STV production crew, if anybody wants to see the program, you can view it
HERE
Quite
a
while
has
passed
since
the
last
website
update,
most
of
the
recent
emails
i
get,
are
asking
me
“when
are
we
are
going
to
open
the
Ditchburn
Jukebox
Museum
to
the
public”,
firstly
my
apologies
on
the
delay,
the
last
2
years
have
been
difficult
for
me
to
finish
the
restorations
and
get
the
museum
ready
for
opening,
this
is
because
my
day
job
that
i
need
to
do
(as
it
funds
both
the
website
and
the
Museum)
has
had
me
working
outside
of
the
UK,
and
with
very
little
time
to
complete
the
machines
restoration
and
prepare
for
the
museum
opening,
sadly
this
has
caused
me
to
postpone
the
original
opening
dates.
But
i
have
now
decided
to
retire
from
my
current
day
job
on
around
April
2025
,
this
will
then
allow
me
to
open
the
museum
and
coffee
bar
to
the
public.
and
be
fully
dedicated
to
the
project.
We
now
have
some
additional
additions
to
the
Museum to display so i am really looking forward to opening.

we
can.
