Brad, You are right here in the first 35 seconds of my 2016 video of the American Precision Museum Show.

It's a shame they don't have that show any more. I agree it was too short and should last 2 days.

The show was doomed 2 years later when they moved the 2018 show date from late October -early November to August 18th.

I advised them this was a very bad idea and that given the major league competing shows that weekend, theirs would unfortunately be a bust. I let them know that on that weekend just about all of their exhibitors would be found at Rough & Tumble in Kinzers, PA and the remaining few would be mostly at the Mystic Seaport Museum antique marine engine show. This is one prediction I wish I got wrong. I spoke with a friend who attended and reported there were just 3 exhibitors including him and maybe a half dozen spectators. After that they decided to scrap the show altogether. A darn shame.
