Photos from the 2025 TUSCO Hamfest

This is a small show at the Tuscarawas County fairgrounds in Dover, Ohio. I’ve been attending since 2023, when they reopened after the country decided that they needed to not do anything for a few years.

This show seems to attract a decent crowd of vendors, and a decent crowd of attendees. I took home a few books and odds ‘n ends from this one, which is exactly what I expected.

Some interesting equipment. Radio gear?

Lots of image orthicons. Lots and lots and lots!

A couple of old Tek (tube-type) scopes. Ok price.

A mini scope. That seems high priced.

Just stuff from the CFARC guys. I took the decade box.

Prices generally seem to be heading North this year, so get it while the getting is good. I did see some things that were not very reasonably priced - they would have been fine 10 years ago, but with technology changes things that were portable then are obsolete now.

Not a whole lot else to say about this one, so enjoy the photos - ACARA’s photos are coming up next.
