The Vintage Electronics Expo has a “big tent” concept of combining vintage audio, radio, video, computing, gaming and associated items such as records and tapes.

You are invited to the Vintage Computer and Electronics Repair Workshop at the System Source Computer Museum during the weekend of Saturday, February 7 (9 AM – 9 PM) and Sunday, February 8 (9 AM – 5 PM).

Repair workshops are for hobbyists of all technical abilities. You can work on your old electronics including computers, ham radios, vintage radios/TVs and receive help from or assist other enthusiasts. Tables with power are provided — just bring your tools and supplies.

Computer Museum tours will feature the six artifacts claiming to be the first personal computer, the recent acquisition of the IBM 7090 console from the movie Hidden Figures, what’s working in the collection, and tour favorites.

Workshop events are $10 for one day or $15 for two days. Museum volunteers are free. If you would like to work on a museum artifact, please register ahead of time.
