Can set-up take place on Friday during the day? I know a lot is done in the evening but are the display halls open during the day? Bob

Hotel Suggestion for VCF
by Chris Fala 26 Mar '17

26 Mar '17

I have stayed at the Residence Inn Marriott in Neptune on Jumping Brooke Rd. It has a pool, free hot breakfast, etc. For those looking for a nice hotel who also want to split the cost with a friend or two, I discovered that they have a two bedroom, two bathroom suite with one king and one queen bed and a fold-out sofa bed. Nice option for multiple people to also have some privacy. The rate for three nights (Thursday through Sunday) is $657, which split three ways is a pretty good deal. Hope this helps.

FS: iMacs
by Systems Glitch 26 Mar '17

26 Mar '17

All, I've got a few iMacs I'd like to part with at VCF East: 1x indigo G3 slotloader -- with keyboard and mouse 1x lime G3 tray loader -- with mouse, OS X 10.3 installed, works 1x Intel Core 2 Duo white, OS X 10.4 installed, has typical colored vertical lines issue $20 each. I won't bring them if no one claims them. I believe the indigo G3 also works, but I haven't powered it up in a while. The Intel iMac does have vertical lines issues, but it's not so bad as to be unusable. I can pull up system specs if anyone is interested enough to request them. Thanks, Jonathan

Free empty boxes for IBM 5150 PC + monitor
by matt＠mattmik.com 26 Mar '17

I know empty boxes aren't really worth anything, but if anyone's interested...I have the original boxes for both the IBM 5150 PC and 5151 monitor. They're free to a good home. They look like this: https://www.classiccomputershop.eu/Files/5/17000/17331/ProductPhotos/MaxCon… http://www.computercloset.org/IBM_PC_System_Boxed.jpg I believe the foam inserts are still inside. Let me know. I'll be at VCF East on Saturday.

I just went to work on my apple II for VCF east and I forgot that I have an external modulator for my Rev-4 not an internal SupeRmod. If anyone has a spare working SupeRmod and can part with it, I'd be pretty appreciative. Email me with how much you want for it. Thanks, Corey corey cohen uǝɥoɔ ʎǝɹoɔ

Hello all, We should have a great consignment room again this year. Procedures will be much like previous years, however you are *greatly* encouraged to fill out the consignment form in advance. To make life easier, the form is a fillable PDF. Get the form here: http://vcfed.org/wp/festivals/vintage-computer-festival-east/vcf-east-consi… See you at VCF! Jim

Monitor repair class test subjects
by Ian Primus 25 Mar '17

25 Mar '17

I'm getting my material ready for the monitor repair class I'm doing on Friday, and Jason I know is bringing a monitor with some faults as an example. Looking around, I seem to have fixed most of the broken things i had laying around that were obvious. I'll keep looking, but, has anyone got a monitor that has a fault that they think would make a good demonstration? I *think* Will had one he said he could bring that has messed up vertical, I can ask him to bring that along if he has it handy. But if anyone else has anything convenient, let me know. Preferably monitors that either are self contained terminals, or take composite video, to make getting some video on the screen simpler with limited amounts of hardware. Thanks! -Ian

VCF-E Consignment room volunteers
by Jim Scheef 25 Mar '17

25 Mar '17

Hello all, Hopefully some of you remember me as Kelly's helper in the consignment room over the last few years. Before that I was MARCH's first treasurer for VCF 3, 4, 5. This year I agreed to take over the consignment room so Kelly can concentrate on his team exhibit. If this is going to work, I need two or three volunteers to help in the consignment room. This ensures that no one is stuck making change the entire weekend. In exchange you will be reimbursed for your ticket for Saturday and Sunday. This is important work and the volunteers must be approved by Evan. This is actually a fun job, and, of course, you get first crack at all the consignment stuff. If you would like to help, please respond off-list. Jim
