Trenton Computer Festival Report
by Dean Notarnicola 23 Mar '19

23 Mar '19

Great day today! Adam Michlin, Neil Cherry, Drew and I hosted a VCF exhibit at TCF. We setup an Atari 2600 and 800xl for visitors to interact with, along with various Atari related books. Neil also setup his home automation demo. The exhibits drew a constant stream of curious visitors who asked a lot of questions, with a fairly good crowd around the table for most of the day. Adam, Neil and Drew engaged them with various technology topics while talking up the upcoming VCFe events. Many people asked about VCF and hopefully we encouraged them to introduce themselves on the list and attend a workshop. We had many VCF alumni visit, among them Herb Johnson, Bill Dudley, Tom Hornberger, Jeff Gallinat and others. All in all, a fun day with good people. Another TCF in the books. Regards, Dean

CRT Repair suggestions
by Peter Fletcher 23 Mar '19

23 Mar '19

I have two Atari SC1224 Color monitors that are in need of repair. The one does not turn on at all and the other only seems to only have blue functioning. ( I can see the screen, just everything is either blue or black). I am in southeastern PA, but someplace regional for repair would be fine. Any suggestions? Thanks, Pete
