BicBogartPeas	Re: HAMFEST Calandar In case anyone is interested, here's a site with a listing of all upcoming Hamfests around the country: http://www.arrl.org/hamfests.html As you may be aware, a Hamfest is an electronic fleamarket put on by amateur radio types in many local areas. You can often find NOS tubes at decent prices. Parts like resistors, capacitors, and so on can often be had for pennys on the dollar. Like the previous post, I occasionally find old guitar amps there as well, although usually nothing as rare as a tweed or blackface fender. For some reasons, old gibsons show up a fair amount. Be aware that everybody is looking for bargains so you have to be there early because the good stuff goes quick. Bic
