[Boatanchors] Shelby NC hamfest photos

[Nick England]

In recent years I scour the flea market to look for Navy radio gear, my current passion. That is pretty specialized and very little shows up but you never know. 

However I used to collect/restore/operate 1950's ham gear (over 400 pieces of Heathkit, Knight, National, Halli, etc., all gone to new homes now), so I still find it interesting as do most all of my boatanchor buddies. But since I am not buying/selling it any more I don't pay much attention to prices. 
I am not a reporter. I shoot quick cellphone photos as I am scanning tables and I do try to include price tags if visible. What you get is what you get. And it is worth every penny you paid for it. 

Other attendees can fill in the blanks with things they saw. 

Sure it would be nice if someone compiled the prices of all the gear. Go for it Dave.....

That said, the prices that I noticed seemed pretty reasonable and "trading was brisk". I didn't get photos of the 75A-3 and 32V-2 I brought for a friend because they sold within a few seconds  after I put them on the table ($200 and $400).

Cheers,
