Steve Limbert at Aircooled Racing is running the Ski Roundtop swap meet this year.

I've always enjoyed this show and plan on being there again this year.

Anyone else interested?

I'm always first in line at Roundtop, my favorite swap.

Thanks for sharing. This one is close enough that a road trip may be in order.

Does this event get a decent turn-out? 20 years ago swap meets were the place to go for parts. Since then it seems like all the good stuff goes to eBay and swap meets are piles of rusty window cranks. :-(

I've found Roundtop brings out the real swappers, and a lot of the stuff hasn't seen the light of day in decades. Unlike Hershey which tends to bring out the pro sellers with ebay pricing, Roundtop guys want to go home with an empty truck.
The last couple of years Roundtop has been the biggest in years.

I'll be there Bob. Probably not selling anything but I may drive the car there.

what time does it start and any idea on how many sellers?

Posted by: saigon71 Sep 13 2019, 11:03 AM

As of this morning there were 20 vendors pre-registered. According to the guy who ran it in previous years, they generally got 20 or so more the day of the event due to possible weather issues.

So the guess is 40 sellers. Open to vendors at 7AM, buyers at 8AM.

To the gentleman I was talking to who bought the seat belt for the 73 (apologies, forgot your name), the spring is on the "small" side - do not open.

I pulled the belts all the way out, then ran them through the dishwasher a few times, weaving the belt through the separators to keep the belt unwound. It cleaned them up nicely.

This is a fun little show and the weather gods were good to us for the second year in a row. I have been there before when it snowed. In late September. Crazy.

I was really looking forward to this show this year and it did not disappoint, if only as an excuse to go for a drive, catch up with folks, and then get some ice cream on my way home.
