This was such a fun show! Definitely considering going next year. Matt that you bought your NeXTcube from is the same guy who hooked me up with the P5 Glove I just covered on LGR, haha. I was eyeing up that Cube as soon as I got there, you got a stellar deal.

It was a great deal! I’d love to go back, too-probably host a booth. If you do go, we should meetup. Thanks for watching!

@@ComputerClan we will be at Tandy Assembly in Springfield, OH, September 28-29. The talks and exhibits are about any computer made by Tandy/Radio Shack and modern upgrades and software for these systems. Some of these systems include TRS-80s, CoCos, the nearly-PC compatible computers like the Tandy 1000, pocket computers and more. It's a much smaller show than VCFMW and has a higher technical focus (if you can imagine that's even possible).

This was my first convention I've ever went to and it was one of the best experiences in my entire LIFE!!! I decided to experience my first convention as an exhibitor too, thought I'd go all out! My table is at 1:45 in the video and it consisted of the IBM with the rare Motorola terminal monitor (which I traded for an Atari 520 ST late that night). My table also had some luggables and the Sun systems, which I now know how that text got there, lol! Thank you so much too for the small interview at 15:27, I was wondering who's channel had the cameraman, sorry I didn't have any immediate information about Tandy machines as I'm only 19 and still learning! With a little research, your Model III should be fine, just needs a lot of internal brightness and contrast adjustments as the raster is off, shouldn't be a capacitor problem. I can't wait for this years convention if it still happens, and if it does then this is the only place that I'll mention that I will likely be bringing my newly gotten extremely rare Atari XC1411 prototype monitor! I hope to see you there again this year!
