I was at the Timonium Hamfest on Sunday and found the fleamarket a bit sparse 
this year due to the weather (cool and cloudy). From what I hear the turnout 
was better on Saturday. Even so I was able to find a couple of Sun items (an 
SM71 module and a 100BT S-Bus ethernet card). There were some workstations, 
mostly SS2s, IPXs, and SS10s with a couple of Classics and an SS20 or two. I 
also saw some Axil 245s (SS5 clones), and an old server (an MP470 perhaps?). 
Few monitors though. I was hoping to grab a 20in Sun monitor but there wasn't 
anything to be found. 
Even so, this is one big swap meet. Even in an off year it has of the best 
fleamarkets in the Mid Atlantic states.

Of course the Trenton Computerfest is coming up next month!!!
