Saturday was the first Electronics Flea Market for 2008. We went, a little late as usual, but early for us. When we got our coffee and donuts at 8:30, there were already some vendors packing up; they had been there for hours and sold enough to call it a day. The weather was beautiful, and we all got sunburned, but we also took home a nice haul of goodies.

We stopped by to see the solder people, who were getting out sponges for someone when we arrived. Everything they have is in a display like this; you should see their box of Metcal tips. We got some tips and solder and let them laugh at me for taking a picture of their box of sponges. Everyone was in a good mood; it was like old home week with all the guys catching up after being away for months.

So, here's our haul: solder, rubber feet, stepper motors, timing belts, a dichroic mirror, a heater coil in a beautiful box, Metcal soldering iron tips, a pair of tweezers, a ruler, and resealable plastic bags. I got a couple of 'N' cells, too, but they made it to the battery drawer before I got a chance to photograph the take. I've got a few more pictures from the flea market and a couple of close-ups in this flickr set. Windell's pictures from last year are in this set.
The next flea market is April 12. Mark your calendars! |
