Cleveland has been a good show for me for as long as I’ve been going. While the inside building they have ebbs and flows with vendors, the outdoor flea market was well stocked with things we’d expect to see at shows. Tables of radios, piles of equipment - all the good stuff.

I didn’t take much home from this one, as I had to stop myself from buying yet more boat anchors. I went home with some tools, a power strip, and an old handheld game. I got away lucky!

I did see some other things I was interested in, but a few of the vendors here (and all shows, TBH, seem to treat their prices as a state secret. I don’t want to have to flag you down and have you hmmmmm and hawww for a minute while you try and gauge how much I might pay you, mark your prices! I passed up a couple of interesting things for this reason.

Other than that, here’s what I saw at the show:


Next show is the Early Television Museum’s fall swap, and the last one I’ll hit this year is probably MARC @ MAPS. See you there!
