by Jeffrey Brace 10 Feb '22

10 Feb '22

So, someone quite kindly reminded me that we had a "want to sell" and a "want to buy" Google Sheet for the swap meet last time. It was popular last time, so here it is again: Want to buy list: < https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Svd9_DrCQUvuPujUVFB56YXZz6NhmjlJ1VY… > Want to sell list: < https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bBEu7PSHcliS9Fcszl_D4CYqq0KV4NSwPwW… > As a reminder the swap meet is February 26 and is indoors.

by Jeffrey Brace 09 Feb '22

09 Feb '22

Before I post to Reddit groups, I need help knowing the proper etiquette for posting our events to Reddit groups. Does it vary from group to group based on the moderators whims? If anyone is a frequent contributor to any groups that are relevant to our hobby, then please let me know if you are able to post on my behalf. Thanks! ========================================= Jeff Brace VCF National Board Member Chairman & Vice President Vintage Computer Festival East Showrunner Vintage Computer Federation is a 501c3 charity http://www.vcfed.org/ jeffrey(a)vcfed.org

OT: Recommendations for Hotels in InfoAge area
by Jeffrey Brace 07 Feb '22

07 Feb '22

It's been many years since I have stayed in hotels in the InfoAge area, so I have a rough idea of how good or bad certain ones are. I need more current recommendations. Can anyone tell me which ones that they recommend and which ones to avoid? I'm asking because some speakers that will be staying in the area during VCF East want recommendations. So far I have a recommendation for Courtyard Wall at Monmouth Shores Corporate Park (part of Marriott chain). This will also help me if anyone else wants a recommendation. I can put on the website for VCF East possibly.

big crts for free

I have a 21" Radius and a 19" Mitsubishi. Both are VGA/multisyncers. Both have an appropriate cable. Both have significant screen burn. If anyone is interested in the entire units, or parts, any parts, case, boards, ???, they're yours. Entire units need to be picked up in Waretown. I suppose I could ship smaller/lighter component, but I'd rather not. Whatever. They won't be around for much longer. Emails only will receive replies.

Hello, I just joined the group. I live in Springfield, NJ. Looking forward to the 26th swap meet. I have a working Apple ][ Plus system that I would like to sell. Here are the specs: - Model A2S1048, SN A2S2-408572 - Cards: 1. Disk II Interface Card (650-X104) 2. Viewmaster (80 column card) 3. Serial Interface Card (670-X005) 4. Super Serial Card II (670-8020-B) 5. CTC Electronics (Language Card?) - Drives: 2 and have not yet tested them, but will this week - Display: Apple A2M2010, Green Phosphor, SN 0980696 Pictures below/attached. More on Reddit, here: https://www.reddit.com/r/VintageApple/comments/skuwsb/recent_auction_win_ap… I purchased it at an auction (Lettieri) a few weeks ago and sadly do not know it's history. I've been cleaning up, little by little, to resell. I usually sell on eBay but thought I'd share with the group first. Message me if you have any interest.
