This Sunday June 17th is the Monthly MIT Flea Market
"The MIT Radio Society, in conjunction with the MIT UHF Repeater Association, the MIT Electronics Research Society, and the Harvard Wireless Club, sponsors a Swapfest on the third Sunday of each month, April through October. This is a place to buy, sell, and swap amateur radio, electronic, and computer equipment. Hams and non-hams alike are welcome."
What does this mean?
Only the best Flea market in New England for circuit benders, chip tuners, retro computers, tube-o-philes, and diy synth folks.
The MIT Flea is the only flea market where i have seen two thermins, an 8-trk reel-to reel, a korg poly six, a midi nintendo, 16 MM movie camera, the keybed to a K2500, and an original WWII emigma machine for sale all at the same time.
There are all sort of techie types walking around and selling at this place.
Plus it is the BEST place to get simple computer parts and electronic switches and components for projects.
As with last month I do have a personal agenda for mentioning this though,
I will be selling of my extra gear at one of the booths. I will have a large selection of Talking toys to bend, Furbys, Bendable casio keyboards, fx boxes, a lot of bendable toys, midi sax, some DJ gear, and whatever else i dig out of my mess of a studio closet to sell off. i will also have details on an optigan but won't be able to haul it up tomorrow.
Anyone who has been to one of these MIT Fleas give me a shout out. And please if you are going this weekend come by and see me.
Here is the link to the one dollar off admission coupon, just print out the pdf. $4 to get in but there are people who pay the $20 dealer price just to get a look at everyone hours before as they open up.

and here is a link to the stuff that we had last time with some flicker photos of it.

The last Seven photos from the furbys to the pug are what was at our stand. I am so psyched that Andy named us "Winner, Most Awesome Seller at the Flea Award, May 2007".

Hey... there's a small chance I could be there.
I'll try, but it winds up being fairly expensive for me.

I was approximately that drunk. I'll see what I can do tomorrow--I've got to be back in Brookline by noon for the Flag Day parade.
BTW, here's a photo from a 2005 Flea where someone was selling an Enigma machine--for $21,000.
