so ive been kicking around the idea of making the drive out to dayton this may, never been before and a buddy of mine keeps telling me its worth it at least once. problem is its like 9 hours from where i am and i dont really know if ill have anyone to ride with. wondering if anyone here has been recently and if the flea market is still worth the trip or if its gotten kind of watered down over the years. also our local club is doing a swap meet next month which is way more realistic for me honestly but its pretty small, maybe 30 or 40 vendors tops

went to dayton back in 2019 and honestly it was a little overwhelming but in a good way. the flea market alone takes like half a day if you actually stop and look at stuff. picked up a barely used 706 for way less than i expected. its a long haul but if you can find someone to split gas with i'd say do it at least once. the forums usually have ride share threads popping up around march or april so keep an eye out

our club swap meet is this saturday actually, its at the fairgrounds off route 9. nothing huge but last year someone showed up with a whole truckload of old Collins gear and things got interesting real fast lol. if youre anywhere near central ohio area youre welcome to stop by
