Silicon Valley Electronics Flea Market 20190608

A sunny morning out at the electronics flea market in Sunnyvale California. Right in the heart of Silicon Valley. Parts and equipment galore. Labguy takes you on a very informal tour of a REAL electronics hoarder's paradise! No other electronics flea market in the nation holds a candle to this monster. Prove me wrong and I'll go to yours! Enjoy!
Click that THUMBS UP buttons or you will wake up screaming in the night! Even if you hate the video or silicon valley or even me! (I can't believe that to be possible, but even so...) Still Click the like button. What are you waiting for? Christmas? Click it! Come on! You know you want to!
If you don't click the like button, Labguy may scowl in your general direction or might start thinking poorly of you in general! Maybe. You wouldn't want that, now would you? I know I wouldn't! So click that like button. You can click it three times. But, don't click it twice!
Enjoy!

I'd love to go to an ELECTRONICS flea market

[@TOONMAN200]

The electronics flea market is back on. April 9,2022 7:00 AM to 12:pm, at the Sunnyvale Public Library. Go to Foothill Electronics Flea Market, web sight, for directions and details. Disappointed, I went to the event it was sold out. I had to drive all the way home, and unload my truck. In May I will get there at 4:00 AM. They let people in early, instead of the posted 7:00 AM time. What a screw up. Update OCT.27,2022 because of resident complaints, this flea market has been canceled, no new location has been announced. I contacted them and suggested they go back to DE Anza Collage.

Last time I went I was finding better deals for transceivers on eBay but kinda fun to look around and might get some good accessories cheap.

I lived in Sunnyvale for eight months after I emigrated to the USA, about 3 blocks away from that Fry's store, and I never knew this went on, every month. I also never knew about HSC, WeirdStuff and other wonderful places in those days... Probably a good thing too, otherwise I would have bought a lot of stuff there, and would have had a lot more stuff to put in storage when I had to move away when I lost my job...

My brother and brother in law go to this religiously. WB6NVH and...well, I don't know what the in-law's call sign is...

[@videolabguy]

Could be. Could be. I will take your word for it. We had our first electronics flea market in the past couple of years last Saturday and it was great to see "the stuff" and most of my old friends again. You would love it! www.electronicsfleamarket.com/

[@DandyDon1]

While W6TRW in Redondo Beach became quite commercialized decades ago, there won't be any rummaging through boxes looking for great electronics deals for several more months :/

[@DandyDon1]

I just looked it up and apparently Weirdstuff Warehouse is no more as of April 2018?

[@DandyDon1]

I know it is a long walk, however Torrance Electronic near my home is open during the shutdowns as they've categorized as an essential business.

[@mspysu79]

So was it just the suitcase, or was thee a Sony AVC in there? So cool that it's a Monthly event, nothing like that here.

[@videolabguy]

It was stuffed full of misc. junk. It weighed a lot! Obviously not a camera. :(

[@mspysu79]

@@videolabguy Well that's a bummer. I happen to pick up one of those cases with a camera, and everything but the tripod at the Butler Breezeshooters hamfest back on the first. Have not tested it yet, although the guy said it "Worked" but for FREE I am not going to quibble :)

[@Tamay.]

Are they also selling phones?

[@videolabguy]

When the flea market is going, there are telephones out the ying yang. Old ones, new ones, novelty phones. You name it!

[@rawvtg6939]

Is this still a thing ?

[@videolabguy]

Only time will tell. Our dictator here in California hates free market private enterprise, so any chance to squash it is taken.
