This was a really good swap meet. There were so many stalls. It almost made it up to the open part of the parking deck.
Lots of ham radios at the swapfest as well as well as vintage, hi-fi stuff and lots of Heathkit
IrishMASMS@Irishmasms there was tons of sparc gear, but due to editorial discretion, they did not make it into my posting, gear is some of the largest amount of stuff I see there
@Irishmasms next month, I promise! There was also a HUGE box labeedl "sun cards"
Jessamyn@jeffluszcz Always look at these hoping to glimpse a DG meatball!!
@jessamyn No DG stuff there this month alas! Lots of Digital DEC stuff though. I always expect to see more due to the closee distance to Maynard, but almost none except this month had a ton. I was _tempted_ since the price was almost right!
@jeffluszcz There was a DG thing in that picture! Nova Relocatable Assembler. Not hardware, but still cool.
@jessamyn good eye, I missed the forest for the trees!

Jacob daScientist@jeffluszcz Hi Jeff, What a nice collection from memory lane! I've been looking for a VT-240 terminal for my home built 6309 system. The purpose is to play with REGUS graphics. You seem to have some, are you willing to sell one to me? They are almost impossible to find nowadays.
@jbeeksma Hi Jacob, unfortunately these aren't my machines, they were for sale at the MIT Flea market in Cambridge, MA last year. The MIT Flea / Swapfest starts up again in April. More info here: https://w1mx.mit.edu/flea-at-mit/
@jeffluszcz Well, thanks for coming back att me. Unfortunately I'm in Europe. Visiting a Swapfest in the US would be fun.
AI6YR Ben@jeffluszcz Oooh, was that a Mac 128?!?!??!?!
@ai6yr There was at least one there today.

@ai6yr @jeffluszcz I went with a friend of mine once and advocated for "conservation of crap", ie get something only if you get rid of something...
@va2lam @jeffluszcz Yes, that is my general approach to things, as much as I can. i.e. anything new coming in means something has to go out.

Whoa, I spy an ESC key where the TAB key goes on modern keyboards!
Could it be an ADM-3A???
(Or rather, a variant, or related terminal? Maybe that escape key placement was more widespread than I initially thought.)

The ZX81 nostalgia hits hard - first computer I ever used!!

@bluewave_kiwi I was tempted to pick up a ZX81 they are petty cheap now, and I always wanted one. I used to go to the store and look at them when they first came out since I thought I might be able to get one they were so cheap.
Based on my experience from 40 years ago, a problem could be the keypads... our one developed delamination even back then. Plus the optional "16kb rampack" got a bit glitchy! Good luck!
