Swap Meet update: Accuweather says: very warm with plenty of sun; warmest weekend until spring
by Jeffrey Brace 25 Oct '23

25 Oct '23

The weather that I ordered is coming. Sunny, 78 degrees, light wind. Better bring your sunscreen! If you haven't done already, then sign up here: https://vcfed.org/vcf-swap-meet/ We are currently at 38 vendors with 50 spaces total. Lots of interest. Everyone in the area is busting to get out this weekend as we have been cursed with rain every weekend for the last 9 weekends. I broke the curse! Time to start getting your stuff ready to sell!

Swap meet buy and sell list
by Sentrytv 21 Oct '23

21 Oct '23

Just wanted to let people know that I posted some items on the sell list for the swap meet. Even though I have not added anything to the wanted list, I am looking for: 2 working Apple 2+, Apple IIe floppy disk drive controller cards, one with the header pins for ribbon cables, and the other for the external DB connector cable drives. Please let me know via email. I need one of each, preferably as least expensive as possible. Thank you Mike Rosen Sent from: My extremely complicated, hand held electronic device.

old WMID station warehouse auction
by Sentrytv 21 Oct '23

21 Oct '23

This is more of a question, than a statement. WMID Atlantic City radio station started in 1947 has been sold , and their warehouse is being cleaned out or auctioned off. My question here is, does anybody know of this and when it’s going to happen? Mike Rosen Sent from: My extremely complicated, hand held electronic device.

Need help after swap meet!
by Jeffrey Brace 21 Oct '23

21 Oct '23

VCF will be picking up a punch card machine (IBM 026) that Steve Anderson is donating. The plan is to pick up after the swap meet when I'm done unloading the Uhaul drop with all our boxes of stuff. It is a 15 foot Uhual. I can't do this myself, so can anyone help me? Thanks!
