Less Strife Than A Trip To A Strip Club: Nerd Porn At The Swap-Meet

An AAR Of The August, 2026 Swap-Meet At The Vintage Radio and Communications Museum, Windsor, Connecticut

Today I loaded up the Chevy, and drove down to the museum at Windsor to off-load excess junque, find new stuph, and hang out with fellow nerds and geeks at the Vintage Radio and Communications Museum, in Windsor, Connecticut. TL;DR – It was hot as phuck, dead as Marley (but hopefully planning some chain-clanking and imminent future visitations), and I still walked away with finds and more Federal Reserve Notes than what I started with. This swap meet proved that even on a bad night in Bangkok the world can still be your oyster (cue Murray Head).

The weather report had predicted the three Hs: hot, hazy, and humid. The important part was that the dreaded thunderstorms are not due until later tonight. So far NOAA has gotten it right. The lack of morning heavy weather however did nothing to improve attendance of both buyers and sellers at today’s meet. On a normal outdoor swap here you’ll see anywhere from 350-450 linear feet of sellers.
