Just got Back from the Swap
- Thread starter fortymobile
- Start date
I was out there this morning about 9 AM. In fact, I gave 'ol '40-40' ('foutymobile')and his buddy '711' a hard time on the radio on ch 17 before I got there! They were leaving when I was getting there. The best time is to get there when all of the trucks unload; get there too early and all you get are the worms!
The swap meet was OK I guess. There was a guy out there selling a Bird meter - but wanted a little too much for it. So - I passed on it. At least I didn't get a $35 parking ticket this time from the DeAnza College campus parking Nazis. I bought a pound of 63-37 solder for $9 as a consolation prize. Last time I was out there, I got an almost new low-pass filter for my Ham setup, a radio Shack 3-amp power supply, and a SBE/SSB mobile radio for under $25 total! The radio and the power supply needs some work still, but worth the time to fix.

I sure do miss the local junk fests we used to have here, computers and the internet pretty much put an end to them. They used to be good back in the 80's, nothing but HAM & CB radios, amps, power/SWR meters, mic's, cable & fittings, tubes, and components.....etc.....etc......
By the early 90's they got over run with used computer stuff with very little radio equipment showing up for sale.......
Around 200 on that video I saw an old Johnson CB that looks a lot like one of my first tube 23 channel radios I owned back in the 70's......
