Repair Day Next Sat 12th - What to expect?
Just a notice that I'll be bringing a bunch more stuff to give away or sell for $10 max at the repair day. Some Atari 8bit stuff, odds and Ends, Monitors (Commodore) and extra junk that is useful but that I will never use. Trades are accepted first before I give any away or sell - so if you have something interested and Unixy, bring it and lets see what we have. Anyone that can help me with fixes will also get first dibs on the give-away stuff. I'll also be bringing a SunU10 to try and get it to boot, An Apple IIFX to try and re-cap, and some PS to try and recap, assuming I get the caps. And a Tandy 600 that won't turn on. Looks like i'll be bringing my A2000 and try to copy some floppies for another member. I'm not that awesome w/ soldering, mostly due to lack of experience. I'm bringing my own soldering iron. This will be my first one- just want to check and make sure what is going to happen will happen - is the main room used like at Festivus? Assuming that ppl that come must bring everything they need for work, or are there things there from VCF to use? (Irons, monitors, network etc) ? Thanks! -andy

There are plenty of members to help you with that at the workshop.

No it will be in the "main" building called 9032-A. I will send out a reminder with all the info soon. -- ========================================= Jeff Brace Vice President Vintage Computer Federation <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail&utm_term=icon> Virus-free. www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail&utm_term=link> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2>

Andy: in time you will learn your way around the campus and the zany building number scheme installed here by the Army in 1941. :) VCF has some tools available to borrow (including a nice desoldering station) but mostly people bring their own. As you can see here on the list, and as you learned in person at Festivus, we're all happy to share/help. That is what makes the group awesome! Unlike at VCF East (and to a lesser degree Festivus) -- when we're fairly specific about details -- the workshops are pretty much show up, pick a table, and have at it. Jeff B. is in charge of the workshop logistics. The email he sends will cover the hours, event fee, where to park, etc.
Andy, if you remember VCF, the workshop is in the room at the bottom of the ramp from the “reception hall” or main exhibit room, with the big concrete floor where my Apple display was setup in the middle. Right by the double doors to outside where we all unloaded our stuff to setup for VCF Tony Sent from my iPhone

I moved all the working systems to my sealed bid auction. I will have another for feb meeting. I'll have some stuff tomorrow. But it's not fair if it's just first come first grab. I will have an Atari 800 of unknown status. No ps. - andy diller
