COARA (Central Ohio Antique Radio Association) is holding its Fall Swap Meet Saturday, October 14th, 2023 in Sunbury, Ohio (30 minutes North of Columbus). Please contact COARA or Barry Bennett if you would like vendor space. 

Indoor space may be limited; outdoor space not as limited, if the weather cooperates. Outdoor space is unsheltered. AC power is available.

COARA Contact: president@coara.org or contact Barry directly: tvmobile.bb@gmail.com or 614-203-7534  Vendor charge is $10 per table space. 

Plan on bringing your own table as most of mine may be pre-assigned. Registration is not needed for vendors, but it’s first come first served on space, and if we run out of that, we can’t make more.

*When: Oct. 14, 2023 *Setup: 7am outdoor and indoor vendor setup
*Time: 8am – 12 noon officially, but will run until everyone decides to leave.

*Location: 130 Burrer Drive, Sunbury, Ohio 43074, about 4 miles east of the I-71/Ohio 36 interchange Of note: 

This location houses my test gear museum, which will be on display. Also, I will be starting to liquidate the former PTOP inventory of radio parts.  A good deal of this will be on display and for sale at this swap. See y’all at the swapmeet.
