The Retro Collective is a visitor attraction based here at Heber’s Belvedere Mill, comprising two hands-on retro technology and gaming museums, The Cave and Arcade Archive.
While the museums are separate businesses, Heber is involved in both by providing our expert electronics knowledge to help repair and conserve the retro technology, thus helping to future proof the systems.
The museum venues span two floors of Belvedere Mill. The goal is to unite vintage technology enthusiasts who are passionate about preserving and sharing electronics, gaming and entertainment history with a hands-on approach. This includes home microcomputers, coin-operated arcades, consoles, handheld gaming and more.
More information can be found on the Retro Collective website and on the YouTube channel
