Yesterday, we spent the day at the
Mike & Key Swap Meet. As usual there was a large crowd on the two floors of the
Puyallup Fairgrounds facility. I got to chat with many friends and enjoyed reminiscing of old projects and now outdated gear of previous desires.

Caps and Coils |
Older hand crafted projects still, starts me thinking. Here is a very well crafted Crystal Radio Set. I am not sure it was actually hand crafted, but it is very well done.
