This show has entered my regular rotation of attended events due to the good variety of items that show up. In the three years I’ve been attending, I’ve never left without some goodies at a good price, including a lot of the test equipment I currently have on my bench.
This year was no different. While certain things (boatanchors) are getting in shorter supply, there’s no shortage of 1960s and 1970s stuff right now - all of which can, for the most part, be easily repaired if need be.
Here’s what you’re waiting for, all of the pictures that I took at the show. The things I brought home will be featured in a future post. Enjoy!
