I didn't photograph as much this VCF East swap meet, my table kept me busy the bulk of the time. BUT, here's an album of the photos I did grab in the early morning to give you a taste of what was there.

I would have to say, this was the table to be at if you wanted Mac stuff today. Guy was selling cheap - That boxed red iMac was $30, the boxed PowerBook under the table was the same price iirc. I didn't take too many photos, too busy at my table, but I'll share an album later.

Called it a day at the VCF Swap Meet - I’d call it a big success! Sold all but two small items and picked up few things (more on that later). Turnout was good. Prices ranged as usual but there were some deals to be had.

@storiesofapple not an expert - BUT - the one on the right is a Pioneer PowerPC clone, the one on the left is a laser disc player meant to be paired with the Pioneer. There have been setups of the same models in action at VCF events.

My VCF East 2025 galleries are finally updated with photos from all three days! I invite you to take a look and enjoy!

As a little bonus - I took one of my Mavicas around for some photos on Sunday. There's a separate gallery here with a few photos taken with the camera. There a few more bonus items coming as soon as I get time. Stay tuned!

@mac84tv yep! Definitely noticed that. I remember back in the day that was one of the few PC brands that included it off the shelf.

Pretty good Flea Market day - picked up this Sony Vaio P4 machine for $10 loaded with cards. I know P4s are kinda mid right now, but Vaio stuff really catches my eye since they used to pack in so much extra stuff…

It has been a while, but tonight at 6 PM EDT Part 1 of the repair/restoration of this Atari 2600 will be live on my YouTube channel. I invite you to check it out and let me know what you think - I tried to be a bit fancy with the production, so I hope you all enjoy. :)

Did you guess how many capacitors fit in the flask at @BigBadBiologist 's table this weekend? Great seeing you there and chatting! :)

@mac84tv Hope I got some decent clips for you as well :)

I think this might be the most uniquely New Jersey thing I've ever seen (though I'm a transplant). I'm just trying to imagine this in today's age - I have so many questions. Seen on FB Marketplace - just had to share:

@mac84tv oh no, what have you done?

Rainy weekends have made hitting the flea a challenge lately. Threat of rain today but still a few vendors out. Saw this old Pong system and a really neat toy. The Think-a-Tron looks like an old room-sized punch card computer. Guy wanted $10 - I was super tempted.

I did pick up another item from the same vendor - he had a grungy Colecovision with a couple games and controllers/psu/rf wire and Atari paddles for $30. Didn’t have this system and if nothing else, I’ll have fun cleaning it up and taking a look inside. Hopefully it works.
