Quad boxes galore! New electrical in 9032-A.

VCF East has had our show for many years in the 9032-A section which is the wide open room, concrete floor room. We also have had our repair workshops in that room. However the electrical power has always been unreliable due to aging wire and painted over outlets. I decided that we needed to do something about this for VCF East. This week VCF paid to have a new sub-panel and 8 new quad boxes installed around the perimeter of the wall. So the power will be vastly more reliable and plentiful for exhibits and anyone using that room. Thanks to Tony for recommending the contractor and the great and quick work that he did. I think all of the exhibitors will welcome the new electrical work in that room. ========================================= Jeff Brace Vice President & Board Member Vintage Computer Festival East Show-runner Vintage Computer Federation is a 501c3 charity http://www.vcfed.org/ jeffrey(a)vcfed.org

Questions about the line-up for each day
by Gregg Levine 01 Oct '21

01 Oct '21

Hello! I am looking at the calendar of events for the three days. I note that Day One, which is next Friday is the University Day, complete with class activities. And that Day Two is the Keynote plus the exhibit spaces, along with Day Three which is another Keynote and the exhibit spaces. Also the obvious enlarged consignment area that was being planned the last time I was there for the Repair Weekend. I bring this up because I'm definitely going to be there for the Day One events, sadly not with an actual companion, but will be arriving with two friends from my NYLUG activities. And all-in-all I'll probably turn up for the Sunday entry which is Day Two. Turns out I bought tickets for Belmar today, and completely forgot to check the calendar of things for the show. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8(a)gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."
