We had a good turn out with over 60 people from 4
states. We had two new members join at the event.. There was good
representation from the OKVRC club. Boy Scout Troop 301 provided
refreshments, and a new welcome banner was posted by the entrance to the
fairgrounds. We also had an unexpected chance for some of our
club members to show their mechanical skills when a water fountain
decided to go into the "fountain" mode. A silent auction
provided a chance for some bargains. The weather was good until
about midday when it started to rain (just when people were trying to
pack up to leave). Click on the pictures below to see a bigger image.
The swapmeet had interesting items and provided a
good opportunity to socialize with other collectors about our
hobby. Click on the pictures below to see a bigger image.

Eric Coon won the best of show with his 1939 GE
HM-185 television receiver. This is one of 5 units that are known
to exist, out of the 500 originally produced. This model was shown
at the 1939 worlds fair. Click on the picture below to see a bigger
