GameStop Switch Display Frame

https://www.facebook.com/share/1ENWko3nAD/?mibextid=wwXIfr $500. Maybe you can talk the seller down a little. BUT.. historically someday someone in MARCH or similar group would want this in their museum … knowing how rare similar Atari displays are today, 40 years later. Made to have visual appeal. this Nintendo in-store display is still in good shape. Not an item for me but always best to be ahead of the curve when collecting things. This is a future exhibit someone with the means or dedication to their niche in the hobby should pick up Bill

Perusing through Facebook pages I found that there is a PDP 12 that was on one of the retro computer groups that has a PDP 12 for sale as well as other things for some reason I can’t get the link to work. Maybe you guys can figure out where it is. I know somebody here would be interested I did put in one of the comments that they should contact VCF.

Swap Meet Help Needed (June 6 & 7)
by Jeffrey Brace 09 May '25

09 May '25

It takes a village to run an event. I only have 3 volunteers committed so far for the swap meet: myself, Andrew Mattera, RJ Clark. That's not enough. I don't have the help of the Sea Cadets because their new Commander is still getting used to the new position. So .... I need MARCH/VCF members to step up and help. I'm not going to continue killing myself doing all the work with a small number of volunteers. I just need a little help from each osso that we can all enjoy the event. I will just cancel the event if I don't get enough volunteers. I need 3 volunteers on Friday, June 6. I need 16 volunteers on Saturday, June 7. Here are the tasks, number of people needed, days and times: TASK # START END FRIDAY Load Truck 3 17:00 20:00 SATURDAY Setup 3 06:00 07:00 Entrance 1 07:00 14:00 Admissions 2 07:00 14:00 Front Desk 2 07:00 14:00 Parking Directors 3 07:00 14:00 Exit 1 07:00 14:00 Breakdown 4 14:00 15:00 E-mail me with your availability and preference.
