Thinking about making the trek down to Wichita for this, anyone from the HAMB Vending or planning on going. I've not been before but have heard it's a good, big swap and some of it indoors! Hoping to get my Swap meet itch taken care of a little early this year.

Here's the website.. http://www.wichitaas.com/events/swapmeet.htm

I'll be there Friday. This is a standing vacation/mental health day for me. Pretty good swap meet.

It is interesting to see how much of the same old crap shows up on the same tables though. Know what I mean? There's one guy with some abused 426 valve covers at an outrageous price that have been there since I started attending. Now I kind of make it a point to see if they are still there each year.

Friday for me, too.

I'm with you Kerry. I do the same thing with a guy that has a used Sun Supertach II. I tried to buy it five or six years ago, but he wouldn't budge. Now I look to see if it's still there. So far, every year, same place, same price. (I bought a new Autometer.)

Well, since I had to open my mouth the valve covers were not there this year. I'll have to find another piece of junk to watch.

I picked some repopp center caps for my five spokes and 20 minutes later found some unused NOS Fenton ones. Alltogether 9 caps for $30. Got a linelock for $8, an Accel Super coil for $2, a couple of old chrome window cranks for $2, a chrome fuel pumg for $2.00 for parts, some new traction bar snubbers for $4, and finally a nice 9 grand mechanical Stewart Warner tach for only $5. It was a fun day.

What did you all find?
