I went to Trenton too, I missed those two
NextStations... I heard about them from the guy who
had the MacTV and watched it being sold.
I think it finally went for less than $50.00.
There wasn't much there. I barely spent anything.
I think I spent more on food from the food stand than
I did on stuff.
The only thing I got there, that I couldn't have
gotten from a regular show, was a LaserXT computer.
Which is an Apple IIc Sized Computer (Actually built
into a case used for the Laser IIc Clone) that is an
IBM XT Compatible.
For $5.00, I got the unit alone. One Floppy drive and
the manual. No software, no power supply (I believe it
uses a IIc power supply, which should be easy to
scrounge up), and unknown condition or RAM.
Once I get a powersupply for it, it should be fun to
power it up. Hopefully the 5 1/4 disks I've still got,
are working and I can boot from them.
But not much else...
As someone else said, lots of PC stuff, overpriced
beige Macs, and some Russian Vendor selling Blue and
White G3's for $100 that everyone said to stay far
away from.
One vendor in the back had tons of tubes, so anyone
there looking for tubes would have had a ball...
The kids from the college made out like bandits
selling sodas and t-shirts to raise money for their
clubs.
I brought $150.00 with more available from local ATM's
and I think I spent less than $50.00 ($15.00 of which
being the admission.)
I did however, get a nice sunburn...
I was hoping to see a TRS-80 Model I or III (or my
holy grail an LNW-80), some NextStations (which I
missed), maybe an Amiga 500 or an Atari ST, or
assorted peripherals.
I didn't see ANY Tandy stuff there. Not a Model 100,
Coco of any type, Tandy 1000 or anything...
I saw one vendor with an MC-10 Ram Pack, and that was
it.
A Commodore Plus/4 was there, but no
C-64/Vic-20/C-128's... Or any peripherals.
No Ataris, of any type... Including the VCS.
Mostly PC, and the most Mac I've EVER seen at a TCF.
Though this flea was about 1/5 the size of the show in
it's heyday...
If last year was like this, I'm not so sorry now I
missed it.
