I have very few pics of the F-111 and the EF-111 variant, and most were taken a long time ago when pics were smaller and more grainy. But here's what I got.
Next show: Manassas VA 6/4/17, bright sunny day and a decent crowd! Always fun at Manassas...
Pic 1-2: telegraph set TG-5-B - this is a late war telegraph key set, comes in a self-enclosed box with a bunch of electronics and a battery pack, along with the headset and key. This unit was in...
The saves I got at the Howard County hamfest:
Pic 1: the haul. Stack of military manuals, most are 1940s and 1950s radio related, mostly theory and application. A few specific radio manuals but not many. $15 for all the manuals you see here.
Pic 2: Sometimes I save things I have no idea...
Next show - Howard County MD 5/28/17 - always a big turnout, lots of neat gear to look through. Sorry a few of the pics are blurry, I was taking pics into the sun early morning and my cellphone sucks for that.
Pic 1: Being in the DC Metro area, you see lots of gear that was surplussed out from...
Have a question for parking at the show - this is the first year I am having this problem after 20 years of going to this venue. I bought only one spot, thinking I wouldn't be selling much. Turns out I probably need more space than I originally thought. I'll need the entirety of the 1 space I...
Last one for a little while - until the next show!
Hagerstown MD, May 6th, 2017 - overcast day with a few showers, but the good news is this show is under a pole barn. It's a small show, but a few goodies always seem to show up.
Pic 1-6: definitely not something I would've expected to see...
NEXT SHOW!
Annandale VA - sometime in March 2017 (forget the exact date) - it's never March in VA without cold rain. This is an indoor/outdoor show at a community college, the outdoor part of it was killed by crappy weather.
Pic 1: Pair of Warsaw Pact field radios, the left one is an East...
Again, been a while since I updated this thread, heck it's been a while since I could spend any time on this site period. Life's been handing me some curveballs which have eaten up my time and energy, but I've still been going to the hamfests. Here's some of the military gear I've seen in...
I will be attending the rally from Wednesday afternoon till Saturday afternoon, set up in my usual area in M-2. Things I'm bringing with:
geared lug nut wrench sets, NOS
pioneer tools, axes and shovels
M35 deuce tool box
assorted military radios, cables and accessories, WWII through 1980s...
Doesn't look like there's much to do - contact them and explain that you no longer have the truck. Most I see you'd have to do is fill out an EUC and file it, on a truck you no longer have. They're not asking for the truck back, just looks like they are catching up on paperwork IMHO.
Well, fate has reared it's head again, my health has taken a turn for the worse in recent weeks, and my doctor has me scheduled for an MRI on Saturday, so this trip isn't going to be happening at this time.
Hope you all have a great time - the MTA show in NJ is probably the best show around...
I used to sell surplus for a living bout 15-20 years ago. Back then, I bid on auctions all the time from Tobyhanna PA in the north, as far south as Ft. Bragg in NC, and as far west as Ft. Campbell in KY/TN. I covered a LOT of area. Back when you had to bid on the auctions in person, before...
Looking forward to it!
Last year I set up as a vendor with psycobob, and was disappointed only because I didn't get a chance to personally walk around and see everything, go shopping, meet friends, etc. I was kinda stuck at my spot selling all weekend. No biggie, but this year I will be there...
