I would like to give it a try, if it does not rain. Come and set up a table, lets see what happens. First Saturday in July. That will be the 7th.
Audio crap, vinyl, whatever.
Let me know.
You will need to bring a table and or a canopy if needed.
4024 Mount Royal Blvd. Most of you know where it is.
-
I'm in.
-
hot dogs?
-
Only the mini ones since it is a mini swap.
-
Don't need a table and don't have much if anything to sell. But, I do plan to see you then.
-
Sounds like a good time. Alas, distance is my enemy!
-
Nothing to "vend", but I'll swing by as a buyer if this is held.
-
Awesome
I work at 11:30am but would definitely stop by in the morning if you're gonna be around?
-

And mine too, nowadays...
-
Yes, there will be hot dogs. 8AM start. I would recommend getting here at 6:30 to 7:00.
-
I will be there early and possibly bring the black KLH 17s!
-
I put up an ad on Audio Karma.

I'm getting some audio crap and some vinyl gathered together. It was pointed out to me by a gentleman who bought a lot of vinyl at my yard sale and I ran into that he hadn't seen an ad. Turns out he doesn't search "electronics", just "garage sales". So I just put an ad in garage sales.

Any one have any speaker stands for a pair of 6" 2-ways?
-
How tall? I have some, but the cosmetics may leave something to be desired.
-
I have a couple of pair... let me know also, the height you need and top plate size. Is this to use? to keep?
-
The weather is supposed to be perfect Saturday.
-
Mark-You bet. Low 80's and dry.
Jim-These stands are for my use. Something that works with a Boston A-40 or similar 6" 2-way; about 33" or 34" high.
-
Think I'll swing by with a buddy and a few offerings.
-
I'll get up in the attic and measure, will let you know today.
-
I'm hoping to show up early, but need to bail around noon.
I have a pair of glass speaker stands I'll need to dig out and bring along. With the "flood" and all the crap I've had to do since, this place is a complete mess. If anyone wants some potentially asbestos floor tiles, lemme know! Lime green with pretty flowers, vintage!
-
When I put a new floor in the bathroom, I just laid it right over those tiles. Best to just not disturb them. I don't need to be sucking in any more asbestos than I already have in my life.
-
That’s what I did 8 or 9 yrs ago. Problem now is the tiles are cupping up around the edges so they need to go. My wife is delivering a sample now for testing. $2k estimate for abatement.
-
I have a good friend who used to own/run an asbestos abatement company. Depending on the substance (it was the old 9"x9" floor tiles in my case). the risk from taking them up your self is about the equivalent of smoking a couple of cigarettes. It's another matter if you do it for a living and are around the stuff all day. It took me less than an hour to pop the tiles. Into a heavy duty contractor trash bag they went.
-

You're gonna need to move some gear on Saturday.
-
Spent time researching and making phone calls. If the result comes back asbestos in the tile OR the glue it can be done safely. Pump spayer of water to keep them wet, pop them gently and into bags. I’m more worried about the glue or mastic being asbestos as I may need to scrape that to level any bumps and doing that will definitely raise some dust. The other thing is the tiles are curling up around the edges, half an inch on some, not characteristic of asbestos tiles as the were too heavy to do that. My wife found a four leaf clover today, told her we’re cashing that right in.
As for selling gear, I don’t really have anything to offer. Anyone interested in a Maggie Astrosonic solid state console for parts? All was working. I pulled the turntable to transplant a newer table in. Got bored and pulled the table back out. I can bring the whole thing or parts, all free as it needs to go bye bye. If not, it goes to the Upper Saint Clair electronics disposal next weekend.

It seems to me that the answer there is to add some sort of resin to make the surface level rather than subtracting the substance that you are worried about. Or else tear everything up to the joists and put new sub flooring in place.

I am not selling anything. However due to moving next week, I am giving away a number of my projects. Free for parts or repair:
Tandberg reel to reel decks
Yamaha three head cassette deck
Tandberg receiver
Proton all in one (CD/Radio/Cassette)
Teac A2300s factory box
KLH all in one turntable and parts (model 20 and/or 24)
Pioneer SX 626 (parts only)
B&O 5000 system components (parts only)
Most of this gear is in very good cosmetic shape.
Possibly more as I find it.
I am not bringing any of these units home. If no one takes them, it's off to be recycled
-
I would be interested in the Tandberg receiver and the KLH. The Pioneer too if nobody else wants it (I don't want to be greedy).
-
Here's a short list of some things I'll have to offer:
Sonogy Black Knight MkII amp
GAS Ampzilla (Bettinger reference restoration)
Aikido Noval tube preamp
Cambridge Audio stack (640a v2, 640c CD player (needs door belt), 640t tuner)
Kenwood KR-7020 receiver (recapped)
Kenwood 6100 integrated amp plus tuner
Open baffle speaker setup (Hawthorne Silver Iris plus Eminence bass drivers and upgraded compression drivers)
Pickering 371 stereo cartridge
Audio Technica AT95E stereo cartridge
Maybe more...depends what else I can find and fit.
-
I plan to arrive at 9:00-9:30 AM and can only stay for an hour or two (moving sucks). I am not sure when everyone else will show up and with the exception of the cassette deck, for which arrangements have been made, need to operate on a first come first served basis. However, I'll consider commitments to other pieces if you can arrive in about the same time frame as me.
I don't mean to be difficult, but time is tight and I don't want to burden anyone with arranging for certain pieces to get to certain people if I am not there.
Thanks to all for understanding.
-
^I’ll have my truck with covered bed. If you want you can leave anything in it for those arriving later, you’re more than welcome. However, I need to leave around noon so after that someone else will need to hold it or I’ll take it and recycle it or tinker with it. Not a problem at all.
-
Works for me. Thanks for your help

I'm planning to be there from 8 till close. If you're there, I'll be there. I certainly don't wish to burden anyone either.

You're bringing the good stuff. I'm bringing the cheap stuff. Between us we should have something for every need! O0
-
Not sure if the black KLH17s will fit but all the moldy vinyl is packed.
-
Unfortunately, will miss mini-swap meet... :(
Moving things out of mom's house... So busy...
Enjoy the day...

Enjoy the day... :)

Had a great time today. It was really nice to see everyone/ the familiar faces! There were some deals to be had! Picked up a nice small pile of albums... thank you guys! And thank you Tom for hosting!
-
Made a little money, ate a couple hot dogs, listened to some good tunes and saw old friends. What's not to like? Thanks Tom for hosting. I'm already looking forward to next year.
-
It was a pleasure meeting and seeing everyone today. Always nice to put faces with names. Thanks to Tom for hosting a great event!
-
Had a great time seeing familiar faces as well as new folks. Weather was great and so was the music. Sold some records and bought a few. Thanks to Tom and his wife for hosting.
-
Agreed, had a great time. Thanks, Tom.
-
Had a good time for the short time I was there. Always nice to see old faces and meet new ones. Thanks to everyone who made it happen.
-
Yowza, really wanted to make it as I am always on the prowl for interesting speakers - and I found a couple pairs at the last swap so hopes were high...
Thanks for arranging this, hope there is another in the future!
