Hi Brik
Thanks for the kind offer!
I work in Tewksbury, next to Lowell, in the old "Wang" building between exits 38 and 39 on I495 (it has the brighe blue "Getronics" sign facing the highway)
On occasions some of us in the NNETG (Northern New England Tube Group) have a lunch get-together at the Mango II Thai Restaurant on Rt 38 in TEwksbury, I'd venture a guess that another one will be coming up in the next few weeks, I'll keep you posted!
Two upcomihg dates of interest:
Lots of old stuff, parts, tubes, etc, for sale, at prices varying from dirt cheap (or even free) to ridiculous expensive, but I always manage to get my bits and pieces for future amp projects at these events...

The big local NE area hamfest / swapfest, AKA "NEAR-fest" at the Deerfield, NH fairgrounds is on May 2 and 3. This was formerly the "Hosstraders" hamfest, which has been held in verious locations, including Deerfield, over the past 20+ years.
It is always held, regardless of weather conditions. There is another NEAR-fest in early October as well, though I doubt that I will still be in NH at that time Yellow_Light_Colorz_PDT_06
