Excellent! Hope you did well with the rest of it.

I sold most of what I brought, including the SP-600 missing its meter
(which went into a clean, recapped unit I purchased offsite the night
before for $300).

Bought very little, mainly parts including one of the two remaining
ART-13 dynamotor connectors I need, for $1 out of a box of junk. Also
toted away an old tube CB for $20. When one of the elitist types
scoffed at it, I just told him that I never blamed any radio service
for what some of the idiots involved with it have done, otherwise I'd
have never gotten my ham ticket. I didn't bother to point out the
Collins 6KHz AM mechanical filter inside. (o:

Nick England posted some photos here, including the Imperial R-390A
that was there and a few shots of your stuff and mine:

If you get down to Raleigh in April we can meet up. Apparently
Charlotte has a big 'fest in March, though I've never been. Shelby and
NEAR-Fest are probably 5 times or more the size of Frostfest, though
it sure was packed in there this year. Busiest one I can remember
since I started attending in 2009.
