MOTM

Dayton Hamvention.  I've not been for a few years, but it is very cool.  
Lots of boat anchors, and an occasional great bargain.

Hi gang,

I was wondering if any of you midwesterners on the list might know if 
anything resembling what they used to call - a "Ham-Radio/Surplus 
Electronics/Parts Fair still exist.   I remember going to one way 
back (around '90) up in Grayslake, IL, at the county fairgrounds.  I 
got so much cool stuff, components, tools, etc...for amazingly low 
prices.  Now that I'm back into this Dr. Diode Synth thing, it'd be 
great if these things were still happening.  It's kinda like a used 
music store thing - you gotta spend a lot of time going through stuff 
but you can find treasures galore...

Anybody got a clue about these?

Thanks in advance

My 16 - 18th this year.

Old Crow hit the nail on the head.  This is the mother off all of them.
 People come from all over the world to buy and sell.

A buddy got a Kurzweil 2500S Rackmount for $250 there 5 or 6 years ago.

My Emu modular came from there.

Anything you want.  And a lot more you don't.  Infinite amounts of
electronic parts and tools.

I will be going this year.

While you are there, definitely check out one of the greatest museums
in the world--for free!
