Default Vintage Electronics Club

I have checked the master list of clubs in The Villages, but have not been able to find a vintage electronics club. Does one exist? Thanks!

I just did a search and found this site. Personally, I have recently built and customized several small electronic kits. these provided a great starting point. i have a few I am still working on.

Interesting. Last time I looked, a couple years ago, it was a very underwhelming website. They actually have a few products now. Probably won't be able to grow to anything like it's former self. Parts are expensive, and I suspect the tinkerers like you are not as abundant as they were years ago.
I spent many hours assembling TV, Stereo, Ham Radio, Computers...enjoyed it immensely!
