A view of my tables this year
This year I expand to a two table setup and there was more than just my Retro Elfs at my tables. This years display included:

An Heathkit computer setup with an H8 system unit connected to an H9 terminal and a H47 floppy drive unit with two 3.5 inch floppy drives along with a Semi Virtual Disk SVD-III.

An Altair 8800 Clone connected to a Wyse-55 terminal.

An S100 system connected to a Wyse-55 terminal.

Two Retro Elf Plus systems with unit one connected to a Wyse-55 terminal.
And just accross from my table is other fellow COSMAC Elf enthusiasts and their vintage toys.
