We have an "electronics" version of the Santee Swap Meet here in San Diego. Every first weekend of the month (I'll go this weekend of course), but I found it to ALSO be just an awful lot of old laptops...old computer cases and monitors (almost all LCD).

I was also sorta let down that it doesn't really have any "old electronics" at all beyond a regular swap meet. All I can find are "mainstream old" (90s-00s) junky plastic TVs, and an occasional beat up small TV I may get for five bucks.

That being said though...I DID run into my Sony 301 at a swap meet, and recently a little Panasonic BiSider TV clock radio, and just this last weekend, the unexpected treat of finding a "brand new" 12" GE b/w set from 1984.

It won't stop me from making a roadtrip to ANY swapmeet even if it's just for fun though.
