I'm one of the Superintendents for the Montgomery County Fair Old Timers Show. The Old Timers Show is stuff 50 or more years old. Primarily it's agricultural and home related but not exclusive. Seemed to be popular last time I brought it and had some cool enough weather so brought it again. Highest I saw on thermometer I brought was 83F and computer was supposed to operate to 95F. Put a fan on the rack of equipment to keep it cooler. The scope didn't act up this time. I brought a spare monitor in case.
This was repeat of the Rockville Science Day 2025 display without any significant changes so I won't repeat the description.
The following picture links also have descriptions of what is shown in the pictures.
