Vienna Winterfest.
Not much there. I bought a bag of resistors, two rolls of mil teflon wire, and a 24V Lambda supply to try on a TPA3116 amp.
The day of the hamfest is over. I used to fill up vans with gear and parts at good hamfests.
But I did find a few card wound resistors to illustrate my earlier comments. Can't buy those at Radio Shack. Wait, that's over too.
I hear your pain. There used to be a massive Hamfest at the Timonium Fairgrounds every year. I would get there no later than 8:30 am and kill the entire day looking for goodies. I even carried my RCL meter to vet caps. Teflon wire -- you bet. Andrew Heliax that is now my speaker cable -- yes -- and it took me too long to fold it into my system. W.L. Gore cables? YUM! Vishay bulk-film resistors -- 10-cents on the dollar. I could go on.
