Stereo Warehouse

[Paul1956]

Here's a Houston classic fer ya...Remember Stereo Warehouse? The guy smashing the axe though Marantz speakers and receivers? Went out of business alleging that Fed-Ex or somebody lost their package of cash.

I bought a bunch-o-crap from the one on Edgebrook/I-45.

I bought a complete setup from them when I was in college, circa, 1972 or so.  They had competitive prices.  I had huge Altec Speakers, Sansui Receiver, and Garrard turntable.  I had that set about 30 years, when I donated it to a thrift shop.

It was true!   It wasn't cash, it was all the customer checks and charges (remember carbon paper charge swiper?) that were lost.  He couldn't cover it and went out of business.....

There use to be a electronics store that use to sell mostly CB Radios I saw at ad for it online years ago at was at the corner of Bissonnet at Beechnut it closed in like 1985. 

There use to be a electronics repair store Hillcroft at Braseheather around the corner in the same strip shopping center as Happy Lamp it closed in like 2005.  I took something get repaired there it was $$$ to get the item fixed.
