It’s a new year and time for another MCVRC Spring Swap Meet!  It seems we either have an abundance of buyers or sellers, but we would like to have both.  Our increased advertisements and postings have driven more interest from the public, so now we’re reaching out to our members and sellers in the area to dust of those duplicates and raid the radio storage you have, and come on down and set up a selling table.  Who knows, you may just make a trade for that missing item in your collection!  There’s always something for everyone, and anything goes…  radios, phonographs, tubes, parts, microphones, test equipment, transmitters, military stuff; even phones and fans!  So come join us on the 15th!
For the buyers, we have a couple sellers who have recently bought out radio collections, and they are promising to bring them in.  Many pieces have been restored and there are some tube lots as well.  Don’t miss out!
Additionally, the Club would like to thank member Tom Lewis for a donation of 50+ radios and items to the Club.  These items are being sold to raise funds for the club for newsletter and venue expenses.
Don’t forget our Radio Contest either.  The categories this time are as follows:
Category 1:  Crosley vs. Detrola – ANY radio or item produced by either one of these companies.
Category 2:  Tube Portables – ANY battery operated portable radio (may also be battery & AC)
Category 3:  OPEN Category – Anything goes, radio or phonograph related… use your imagination!
*Directions to the Swap Meet:

From North of Nashville: From either Interstate 65 or Interstate 24, take Briley Parkway exit east past the Grand Old Opry house and Opry Mills Mall. This will be about 7 or 8 miles. After passing the Opry, go about a mile then turn right on Elm Hill Pike. Go about 1-1/4 miles. Associated Builders Building will be on the right. Park & enter from rear of the building.

2245 Callaway Road
Marietta,  GA  30006
* Ron Ramirez, also known as Mr. Philco, will be our guest speaker.
* NO admission or auction fees whatsoever.

* The facility will open at 7:00 AM for dealer set up.  Dealers pay $15.00 for each 8 foot table and one chair (see below for table pre-registration option).
* No sales will occur before 8 AM.
* 50/50 cash raffle (winners take home more than $100)
* Complimentary donuts, coffee, bottled water, pizza and soft drinks are available (donations appreciated)
The Jim Miller Park indoor facility is the perfect venue for our growing event.  It is three times larger than our previous location so it will accommodate many more buyers, sellers and display areas.  Eight foot tables are now available to sellers and there will be plenty of space for larger sale items such as console radios.  The facility features ample parking, easy loading and unloading access, PA system and restrooms.  We expect this be the biggest and best event yet.
