Show on Oct 8th

There is an electronics swap meet at Infoage in Wall NJ this weekend, October 8th:

VCF Swap Meet

My wife and I are planning on setting up a table to sell off some excess equipment, parts, etc.  My chemo starts tomorrow (10/3) so there is a chance I won’t feel up to the swap meet, but we won’t know that until late in the week.  Usually it is the week after the chemo before the tiredness sets in.

The swap meet is outdoors, with no electricity, so this isn’t really a Corsham Tech show.  We are just selling off some equipment that is no longer being used in our extensive laboratory and production facility (ie, the basement).  However, if there is something you want to see in person, just let me know and I can bring some inventory along.

InfoAge is a complex of small museums including the VCF museum.  It is worth spending  few hours wandering through the buildings to see the rather diverse exhibits!

Upcoming Events

If you look at the “Upcoming Events” menu bar to the right, you’ll notice two new events: Trenton Computer Fest (better known as just TCF), which is a virtual event this year, and the VCF Swap Meet.

My plan is to attend the swap meet but I’m not sure if I’ll be displaying much Corsham Tech stuff or just trying to sell off some excess test equipment, a CRT or two, etc.  It is an outdoor event and everyone will be wearing masks so the risk should be minimal.  If there is something you’d like to see, play with and/or purchase, let me know in advance so I can bring it.  My generator should be along as well so equipment can be demonstrated.

First VCF Swap Meet – November 7th, Wall NJ

The Vintage Computer Federation, like many organizations, was unable to have their VCF East event in New Jersey (USA) this year due to COVID-19.  Instead, they are having a one day outdoor swap meet.  For us hams, this will be very much like a good old hamfest!  If this goes well it might become a yearly event.  It is outdoors and sellers are being socially distanced, so even in these uncertain times the organizers are doing a good job to keep everyone safe.  Wear a mask, obviously.

Details can be found on the first entry on this page:

The event is in a parking lot between a couple of other buildings so the GPS coordinates on that page will direct you to the exact spot.

My plan was to have a small Corsham Tech exhibit but my doctors want me to avoid being around crowds still, so I’ll be there in spirit but not in person.
