Shelby HamFest report
Shelby was down this year, but really not as bad as I expected.
There were a lot of empty spaces in the "meadow", just the group that I've been going with the last few years usually gets about 10 spaces. This year we didn't go until Saturday morning and then just parked in the back lot where the "overflow" normally parks. There was a lot of BA stuff there. Ron Beaver had several nice vintage sets, AK bathtub and other stuff, plus a nice looking National NC-100X, "I think". I sold a few items including a Viking Invader 2000 "finally",that I've been carting around for a while. It's funny the way it works, at least 25 guys looked at it this AM with no bites, finally someone took it. After I marked it sold I could have sold it at least 6 times over, one guy kept coming back wanting to catch the new owner and try and talk him out of it... One of the regulars at Charlotte stopped buy to show me a box of AK parts he had bought wanting to know if they were worth anything, it was all the parts for a Radiodyne model 10, without the board... I didn't really go with the idea of buying anything except a ticket to get in and lunch at Bridges, but as we were getting out of my friends truck a couple of friends that had gotten there early told me they had snagged me 2 pieces of Clough-Brengle gear for the princely sum of $5 each... I was really tickled when I saw them, they're 2 models I've never seen before, styling wise I would put them in the 50's, later than anything else in the collection. They are models 420 & 340, a matching pair of signal generator and VTVM. A little dirty but they'll clean up nice. Here's a link to the C-B web page with the latest additions, http://cloughbrengle.homestead.com/CB420_340.html These 2 pieces bring the Clough-Brengle collection up to 21 items. "Someone stop me, PLEASE!!!" Even though it was down in size, it was a very enjoyable day, easy, not a lot of work to make happen, and we had a GREAT Bridges BBQ lunch to boot. 73, Ron |
