A lot of those great old stores are now gone. We had a similar one here
in Montreal called Payette Radio Ltd. Anyways, downtown there was all this
gorgeous WWII surplus radio equipment in the storefronts of the radio strip
and the geewiz ham radio receivers with all the gizmos. Now it's mostly in
these industrial area joints with $50 or $100 minimum purchases. Bummer...
