Dayton 2007

Well, Bob is back from the South Pole and that means it's time for Dayton. Sure the test equipment is only a shadow of its former self, but where can you see such a strange collection of junque? This year I left on Friday morning. I didn't get parked until 11 a.m. and decided to completely omit the inside vendors.

TVC501 from evil Tech Systems. I didn't even bother to ask.

Microwave Transition Analyzer with display (two years ago this was 2500$)

Bucket o' tubes

Another substantial tube

Close up of multigun CRT

Old potentiometer (still for sale, was on sale in 2005!)

You want it? You untangle it!

Tek 531 abandoned in the weeds.

You said electrical, right? That means lamps, right? Riiiiight.

Cool TACAN antenna

EJECT!

Ion Chromatograph? Sure, no problem.

Ancient B&K apparatus. Calibrated meter stick in front with transducer on wheels.

Eye exam at home? You need your own slit lamp. Here it is.

Old GR line

Pile of HP 5245 nixie era counters

Lest we forget, for $20 you can get the complete set of "Men are from Mars" videotapes. (At Dayton, you might believe this).

"Oh don't you feel my leg, don't you feel my leg; 'Cos if you feel my leg, you'll want to feel my thigh; Don't you feel my thigh, you'll wanna move up high; So don't you feel my leg"
(Bob just can't resist)
