I wish I could attend this year(the last two were great, and I had some one who was going to hook me up with a cheap Predicta if I came this year ), but I'm gonna be moving in to bigger digs soon which will eat all funds for that kind of travel (not to mention that spring break at my college is not going to be held during the meet like last year ).

This will be my first one and I can't wait!
I'll be the one with the wide eyes and the stupid grin on my face the whole time.

I sure want to go, but home repairs are going to take most of my money through the near future.

I'm planning on going. My first time too. There will be two of us with "wide eyes and the stupid grin" on our faces:-) Hope no one notices.

It is a good thing

Guys, when you see that set in mpatoray's avatar you most definately will have that look! (I did)

Looks like, yet again, I can't quite make it. Tough to be a days drive away.

Any updates on the Convention? I see that there are a few pictures of some TVs to be auctioned.

I post a lot of pix every year on Flickr, but I'm a poor reporter since I don't have all the names listed.

Anyone who wants is welcome to put names in the comments.

You'll have to scroll back through my sets to find the right ones, but they're there.

Selected ones in reduced size are posted by Steve on the ETF web site too.

I took the liberty (I took several in fact) to caption a few of Wayne's pictures, in most cases identifying those pictured by their VK handles.

I'll be at the convention and I have several parts chassis in Dallas, TX, for sets that I'm working on and wonder if anyone with a little extra space in their vehicle is driving to the convention in Hilliard, and could be persuaded to carry these.

If anyone needs a TV, excepting consoles that cannot be laid down, transported to Hilliard, OH, from northern Virginia, let me know.

I'm new to the vintage television hobby and would like to learn more about the Convention. Is there any swap meet activity on Friday? Is the swap meet inside or outside on Saturday? Is the Vintage Television Convention about the size of some of the annual antique radio meets?

Thanks, Rusty

Rusty, to answer your questions, Friday is mainly social. But, a lot of fun. Well worthwhile. Although I'm more of a commercial/social/broadcast engineering historian, I've enjoyed these times and have learned a lot. The swap meet is inside unless you are bringing or seeking something super-sized. As for the convention in general, I think this sums it up...
