There are 1800 stalls to visit, so a lot of walking, but always a good day. Always looking for interesting radios. Press for the workshop. $50 Engine analyser, works. $40 Picture tube restorer. $5 20MHz 2 trace cro, works. $20 Love a good swap meet or clearing sale. The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago, the second best time is right now. JAQ

My one is a reproduction, but the seat style has to go down in history as one of the best designs ever.  I mean - no padding at all - the thing is made out of STEEL - but it it actually really comfortable to sit in.

All those holes got me wondering, are they for letting the hot air escape?

Have a few of those old seats, still have the old tractor attached to them.
