[Thread Necromancy! Probably doesn't count as such, since it's only two days later. But, if I don't continue with this thread soon, I'm going to lose mental momentum and it might never happen.]

Here are the small things I picked up at the #MITFlea for myself this past Sunday.

I bought two #NES cartridges together for $20. Having found my 20-inch CRT television at the beginning of the summer (https://mastodon.social/@GamesMissed/114706137345375394), I find myself playing on my spouse's childhood NES a lot more.

Good morning from the #MITFlea ! Does anyone need an 8-track player? And tapes?

I'll be at the #MITFlea / #Swapfest tomorrow morning in Cambridge, Massachusetts. If you see a large man walking around in an orange Mill Forge Makerspace shirt, that's likely me. Say hi, if you like! I'll have my #3DS on me as well, if you want to trade Streetpass pings.

I'm not looking for anything in particular, it's just a fun event to visit. I'll try and get photos of the good stuff and post it here as a thread.

Its an experience - everything that those weirdo MIT types would want to sell or buy, tons of vintage tech. See past threads under this hashtag.

Tired, mind fuzzy. Perfect time to start putting together the desktop #pinball kit I picked up last month at the #MITFlea (https://mastodon.social/@GamesMissed/114705591454196398).

The sheets are 3 mm paperboard, which is about the thickest I've ever seen. The instructions are very clear. I was worried that the joints, held as they are with rubber bands, wouldn't be very rigid. I'm pleased to be wrong.

As an addendum to the cool things I saw at the #MITFlea / #Swapfest in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA this past Sunday (thread at https://mastodon.social/@GamesMissed/114704458776814866), I did pick up a few things myself.

In a few minutes, after I make my second cup of coffee (decaf), I'll get around to belatedly posting my pictures from this past Sunday's #MITFlea (#Swapfest). It was a good one.
