Hero Robot
by Bill Degnan 07 Nov '23

07 Nov '23

Hello, On 11/18 we have someone bringing a Hero 1 robot to the museum for a looksie / testing. If you're a Hero person and would be interested to be there on that Saturday to help, consider yourself invited. Or maybe bring your working robot to walk it around the museum to taunt visitors that day. Let me know in advance if you're coming. btw - I don't spam this list every time we have something happening at Kennett Classic, but if you wish to get occasional (maybe once a month) emails from Kennett Classic, feel free to join the mailing list by sending a message through here: https://www.kennettclassic.com/contact.cfm Thanks Bill

Drone view of the Swap Meet and Wall NJ
by Herbert Johnson 05 Nov '23

05 Nov '23

> The Video is long but I really liked the drone shots of Wall. It's a great video of the VCFed-Mid Swap Meet, but... Given the long shadows and low sun, it only shows the FIRST HOUR of the event, maybe pre-opening forward. I set up just after 9AM and there was *another row* of sellers by then (say another 15% more). So there was more show than this video shows, no complaints of course. And the later hours matter. There were good buyer-deals near the last hours of the event, which (unlike most hamfests) really kept going after 12 noon, past 1PM. The place didn't really empty out, until closing at 2PM. By the end, the VCF "free pile" included some late-model PC's and some tower Macs, other 90's stuff that 10-20 years from now you'll remember when "they couldn't give 'em away". I had a good time, did well enough, and I wasn't aware of anyone who was unhappy. But I was too busy to see, do, and hear everything. It's good there's videos and photos around, I enjoyed spotting things and people in the video. regards Herb Johnson -- Herbert R.

Fiche documentation for all of VM/ESA
by Gregg Levine 03 Nov '23

03 Nov '23

Hello! One of the people on the regular Z/VM list many years ago had a copy of the Fiche behind VM/ESA (I do not know what version), this is the entire source code reduced to Fiche. Would the actual VCF offices in NJ want these? Failing that does anyone on the list want these? Please note that the box is a heavy one. Oh and the wandering dino is currently asleep inside the (new) warehouse area. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8(a)gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."

Swap Meet October 2023 Wrap up
by Jeffrey Brace 02 Nov '23

02 Nov '23

Hello everyone! I was so glad to see all of you there and very happy at the success that it was. So many happy people both the buyers and the sellers. Glad that the swap meet is growing. The food sales by the Fire Museum was really great! They made $600 towards their museum. I appreciated the volunteers from the Sea Cadets. This helped make the event more organized. I'm losing count, but I believe that this was our 6th swap meet and it keeps getting better! Thanks so much to all the volunteers who made my job easier! I look forward to planning the next swap meet which will be in June and making it bigger and better for everyone. I hope to someday fill up that parking lot! Until the next time. Thanks!
