That's it! That's the place
Note to self: buy a big bottle of Beano Will you be going? I was running around in overload mode last year....just WAY too much to take in! This year I'm hoping to be a lot more relaxed

And just printed out my Videokarma Avatar to tape on to my badge, so I won't be in disguise this year. With SkyLine you won't need the Beano . . . . and if you still think you might, you can order the four way without beans . . . . Jas. |

Yeah, well, I sleep in the basement on my recliner on the weekends for two reasons. The first is because I like to pass out watching Lockup reruns on my '57 Zenith 21" B/W.
The second reason is that we usually have pizza or tacos for dinner Saturday. Um....yeah. I won't be wearing the uniform of a Starfleet officer or anything, but I'm easy to spot. Just look for the bald guy

If see a 19” 1963 Motorola TS584 BW metal set, or even just cabinet parts, I’m very interested.
Mine is missing the UHF knobset and three C-B-V smooth chromed knobs below speaker and the whole silver plastic front is busted at a corner. It was picked up by the handle, which let go and dropped 5 feet onto the road, but the battle-axe still works. Safe trip to ETF, go easy on the chili, diversify for health I need a yellow minion suit with a big batwing on it before I show up there

Welp, I bought the CTC-7 Stanford ( http://www.earlytelevision.org/reita..._21CD8775.html ), A Dumont Doghouse, an Admiral 19A11 chassis, the correct table for my 8TS30, a bubble magnifier, two other consoles, a GE 10" table model, bunches of tubes, and about 600 lb worth of broadcast gear including 3 IVC 500-A color broadcast cameras. Plus other stuff that's so buried in my car I couldn't even get to it.
Had a friend with a box truck there to grab my consoles. Having serious doubt that I can fit my suitcase in the car at this point ...and back towards home tomorrow evening. Was sure great hanging out with you guys
