The ham fest in Richmond is "ok" but certainly not great. Lots of junk and only a few vendors selling tubes. For insane prices. Only one of the sellers had a tube tester available.

As for the chokes, connectors, switches, resistors, caps, etc. most of them looked like they'd been ripped out of a burned out rig from the home of a man who smoked three packs a day.

The ham fest in Chesapeake was a total waste of time. Junk and more junk. No good deals for radios or parts. What few things of interest around the show was priced insultingly high.

Here's wishing you more success than I've had around here.
