Pictures of old TV stores (picture fixed)
I had trouble figuring out what to title this post... I was browsing through some urban-exploration sites and found this picture which I though some of you might enjoy.
Maybe if other people have more, they could post them....? If I were to guess the era/brands in the front row (center) I'd say: 1968, Sylvania, Zenith, RCA

The only brand I see in your pic is Angelfire.

It would be great to see the inside and out of any older
TV stores. To see the images on the screens of operating sets would be really neat!

That's cool. Now we need someone to post a tv shop with roundies all in operation

This is NOT my photo... It was uploaded to AK a few months ago. I think it bears reposting... Whoever originally posted it gets credit! This shop was on Lincoln Blvd in Venice, CA until very recently, and in fact it may still be there. I haven't been down that way lately. Charles

I'm not sure whether Mel's more resembles a diner (hih) or a car dealer with all that neon. LOVE that picture of Greenley's. I wonder what mall it was in.

There's no doubt, because not only is the address correct, but also the phone number over the door with the EXbrook prefix. Charles

I remember seeing a picture of the old Bondurant Bros. store in Knoxville in 1950...They had a line of Zenith B&W roundscreens diagonally across the floor...w/a "wall" of TVs & other appliances in the background...That was the place I saw the Zenith-y looking "Sony" color set that was 23" at the time Sony only made the Trinitron in 12".It was on an audio/visual rollaround rack, w/a huge VTR underneath, like something we all saw in the 8th grade...

I've also posted this Dumont sign elsewhere on Audiokarma, but in a different view. I used to marvel at the sign back in the '60s to early '70s when it was lighted each night. It was even then a Dumont dinosaur, back when RCA was color king. Check the roadside sign. Pete |

Here's a commercial I found for an old Detroit-area chain (since put otta business by the big-boxes). No old TVs, but it's pretty funny... Not just the part about a $175 VCR being a good deal!
Highland Appliance (50 watts per channel babycakes!)

I'd sure be curious if all those neon signs are STILL THERE under that new copper roof overhang Charles
