I'll be there, for the first time! I don't know what to expect with the
flea market, but am hoping there may be some computing things available.
I've found a few treasures at other hamfests in the past.

I’ll be there as well.

I’ve picked up a vintage computing items at Dayton, though they seem scarcer 
ever year.
May the new site will bring out some vendors who had their fill with Hara’s 
dodgy facilities.
I for one hope for better food and no rain.

I'll be there also, you can't miss me.  I'm the old guy picking over the 
computer junk in the tailgating area.  Hope it doesn't rain.


I am very curious to see what the new venue looks like, parking etc.

On Topic?: Hamvention

2017-05-16 Thread Jim Brain via cctalk

Is anyone going to Hamvention this weekend?

I am trying to finalize trip details, and wondering if anyone else is 
going (or lives near there)


Was considering taking an RV, but still considering options.

Sorry, I didn’t ask on this one.  It looked like a well used/loved machine with 
some wear and customizations to the front panel

I haven't seen an Altair at a hamfest in this century.
Out of curiosity, what was the seller asking?

I picked up one of those power systems, the other was gone before I got to it. 
The only things I can add are an amiga and tons of cisco network gear.
Not a whole lot this year I suppose.

After Alex mentioned it, I'd thought about driving up if anyone saw
anything of interest, but sounds like there isn't a great deal to pick from
for older computers. I really can't justify the drive anyway, this year...

I saw one Altair 8800 and one TRS-80 III out in the swap fest.  Some more 
recent power (5?) series, but that’s about it.
