RE: Does anyone remember these great old Chicago-based stereo stores from the 70s?

Mercman,
Was Sy Rubinstein (sp?) working there back then? A friend who worked at Sound Experience (car stereo) gave me Sy's name and I ended up buying a Nak CR-5A from him and then returning it for a Nak CR-7A...it was at the Buffalo Grove store though. Really straight shooter.
When I was stationed at Ft. Sheridan (78-80) I used to love going into the Highland Park store and marveling at the B&O tables and how impervious they were to external vibration.
I remember buying a used Teac A-6300 and later trading it in on a new Akai GX-747 at Pacific Stereo on 95th st in Oak Lawn. Did their eyes light up when they saw the A-6300. How dumb was I?
