Pictures from the 2025 Cleveland Hamfest

This was the second year I attended this show, and it was just as good as last year. While the stuff I like is generally going away (there’s just no more of it,) and some of the same vendors show up everywhere - there was still plenty of good things to see. I managed to make it out of there with only $40 missing from my wallet, so I did good.

Here’s what I saw at the show:

One of many signal tracer/R-C analyzer devices. This went home with me.

The good, bad, and ugly of old test equipment makers.

Books are a staple of shows. I took the radio book on top.

A bunch of multi-stage filters with fire bottles.

A nice example of a Knight R-C analyzer.

A Craig Language Translator. It has common phrases on the back.

You can't go to a show without seeing one of these.

Some average condition Hallicrafters S53 units.

This unique Stromberg-Carlson floor speaker (cone long gone.)

Test equipment, with “eBay sells it for this!” prices.

Some needlenose went home with me from this stash.

One of many Zenith radios of this type that showed up.

Next up is the Early Television Museum fall swap meet in October (no idea on this one, I’ve never been there,) followed my MARC@MAPS and finishing the year with the (disappointing last year) Fort Wayne show.

I’ll probably use this year to make some determinations about which shows I want to attend next year. Some of this years’ shows have been smaller than usual, and seeing the same stuff over and over isn’t interesting. Who knows, but stay tuned for more photos from events and next year’s list.
