I have been attending this swap meet for somewhere around 35-40 years. It is still a great swap meet. Of course, nothing is the way it used to be. Years ago they opened the gates on Friday PM and it went through Sunday afternoon. Now it is just one day. This year, the LBMTC is moving it back to Vet's Stadium where it was for many years. That should be a nice change. Compared to 1975, the swap meet is a lot smaller, but it is still a "pure" swap meet with lots of prewar iron to sort through. I always find stuff I need or want. Of course, if you make the trip to Los Angeles, there are plenty of other things to occupy your time before or after the swap meet. Hope to see you there!
