As stated earlier, this was my first time attending this show, and I didn’t leave unhappy. It consisted of about 4 rows of vendors in the parking lot, and a small building mostly full of vendors. There was certainly plenty to look at, and prices were generally very reasonable. Everyone was willing to deal, so I’ll blame that for my haul.
The fairgrounds are tucked behind some houses, so we had to make a go-round and get back to the entrance, having turned the wrong direction the first time. But no big deal, we arrived at 8:15 and spent about three hours browsing the warm, sunlit aisles of stuff.
The trip home warranted a stop in Coshocton for lunch and a brew at Wooly Pig, a place I highly suggest you check out if you are in to that sort of thing
Here’s what you’re waiting for, all of the things I saw at the show.
An Aerovox capacitor tester - missing the rest of it’s oddball probe.
Random audio gear and an old SW radio.
I love those old Bearcat scanners and their 1970s colors.
Books. I took home his small collection of crystal radio stuff.
A butt set. Not a collection of behinds, but a telephone test handset.
A device to exercise a CDC disk system. There was a stack ‘o disks on the ground.
The guy had boxes of chips. I took home some unusual dot matrix displays.
A nice example of a CT455. It needs a little work on the radio, but plays well.
A digital trainer doesn’t always work with digimon.
You don’t see a lot of those HP lunchboxes these days.
A nice National Radio in National grey-blue.
A test device marked Philco-Ford.
Power strips for 30 amps. A friend took this home.
Just some random things.
Random radios. The Zenith portable was kind of cool.
A reel-to-reel player. For reels. Of tape. On reels.
Those little rat shack speakers weren’t bad for the day.
A baby Tek scope holding the ground down.
Not sure, but I heard the word “SONAR” mentioned.
Staple guns. I took the hand brad nailer in the middle home.
A lot of tube testers at this show.
150 watts to measure a voltage - if you dare!
The bakelite Zenith was in awesome shape, especially for $35.
