I often go to the TRW hamfest in Redondo Beach, CA.
(
http://linex-w6trw.sp.trw.com/w6trw/swapmeet/swap.htm). Generally lots of
good stuff, although it's been quiet on the 8-bit front as of late (lots
of old Mac and PC stuff, though). And there's always the same old guys
selling the same old radio for the same old price, month after month. . .
