NARC FALL INDOOR SWAP MEET

Wow! It's fall already. It seems like it was just spring and we were excited about the 40th Anniversary Radio Daze event in May.

Luckily, the Northland Antique Radio Club's annual Fall Indoor Swap Meet is an event to get excited about too! It provides a great opportunity to find some nice vintage radios for your collection or possibly to restore over the winter months, or maybe you have some radio things that you want to sell. In any case, we all enjoy the annual Fall Swap Meet and it is a great place to get together with our radio collector friends.

This 39th annual Indoor Fall Swap Meet will be held Saturday October 31, 2026 in the Hopkins High School lunch room in Minnetonka, Minnesota, where it has been held since 2022.

9 A.M. Seller Setup, with $10 table fee
10 A.M. to 1 P.M. Open to Buyers

- FREE ADMISSION for NARC members and only a dollar for non-members.
- To sell at the swap meet, you must be a NARC member.
- You can join the club or renew your $15 yearly membership at the meet.

Enter the school through the main front doors (to the left in the top photo), then follow the sign to take the first hallway to the right and proceed to the swap meet in the second lunchroom. 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. There are no table reservations.

Sellers: Access to the room begins at 9 A.M. and as soon as the registration table is set up sellers will be admitted, 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 need 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!

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. Be sure to put this on your calendar!
