NARC FALL INDOOR SWAP MEET

The Indoor Fall Swap Meet is moving back to November again this year!
This is a great chance to sell those radios you no longer want and to find a new one for your collection, or to buy some projects to restore this winter. Plus, it's always fun to mingle with fellow club members, so be sure to put this on your calendar!

This 38th annual Indoor Fall Swap Meet will be held in the Hopkins High School lunch room in Minnetonka, Minnesota, where it has been held since 2022.

New this year: The school changed the building entry time to 9 A.M. for all events, so the meet will begin and end an hour later than last year.

9 A.M. Seller Setup, with $10 table fee
10 A.M. Opens to Buyers

FREE ADMISSION for NARC members and only a dollar for non-members.
You can join the club or renew your $15 yearly membership at the meet.

The event will run similarly as in recent years.
If you want to sell at the swap meet, you MUST be a NARC member. There are plenty of tables so there are no table reservations or pre-registration. All table rentals, admission tickets and membership renewals will be handled at the meet. The school provides all the tables and sellers rent them for $10 each on a first come, first served basis.

Enter the school through the main front doors (to the left in the photo). From there, follow the sign to take the first hallway to the right, go past the first lunch room (with round tables) and proceed to the second lunchroom (with rectangular tables). Access to the room begins at 9 A.M. and members who will be selling will be admitted as soon after that as the registration table is ready, allowing them time to haul their merchandise in and set it up on their table before the doors open to buyers at 10 A.M.

Sellers will have to carry their items to the swap meet area, so bring a hand truck or small cart if you have anything heavy.
The school does not supply any rolling carts.
The school requests that you please use extra care not to mark the floors with your hand cart and please bring a protective covering for the table.

The club will not be providing any food or drinks, per school rules.

By 10 A.M., when the buying public is let in, there is usually a good crowd waiting and things get busy fast. You can expect to see typically 30-35 tables full (plus overflow onto the floor) of vintage radios, speakers, audio gear, televisions, phonographs, test equipment, literature, tubes, parts and other radio-related things.

A photo from last year's Fall Swap Meet:

We need to be totally out of the school by 2 P.M. and expect the meet will probably start winding down around 1 P.M., giving sellers an hour to pack up.

This is a well-attended fun event that you won't want to miss. See you there!
