I was a West Sider, bought my first gear at Allied Radio at Western and Washington. I also bought gear at the Musicraft in Oak Park and the Hi-Fi Hutch in Villa Park.
There was a small shop on the South Side, around 55th and the Belt Line, that carried Mac and Bozak. And Gill's Custom House on 95th St. had lots of nice stuff; Mac and Crown electronics, Crown electrostat speakers, Janzsen stats, Gales and the EV Sentry III.
There was a place on the near North Side called Victor's; he had Quad and Transcriptors, also sold Audio Research and Fulton. And Decca cartridges. I remember how impressed I was with those little Fulton 80s.
