And they had a "TV Tube Tester" right next to the front door.

I was wondering if it was just going to be me and George here in Geezerville.

Allied Radio - listened to my first pair of AR3's there. Of course, the AR3a which came later were superior. Also was impressed with the HRO500. I dreamed of owning that and listening to the world.

I would go there every weekend, with $3-5 dollars and look through the classical selection every Sunday afternoon. RCA Red Seal and Vanguard were my go-to labels. I would flip through the bins and find something that I'd find interesting.
On one occasion, I picked up a recording of The Rite of Spring. Remember this work was only about 55 years old at the time. I don't remember the performers. I recall putting on my turntable and listening to my AR3 speakers thinking, "Wow! I really don't like this at all. But, it's really really good."
Of course, things have changed in the last few decades.

They also had inexpensive recordings on the Command label. I learned quickly that different musicians made a difference in my enjoyment of the performance. Hans Kahn and his chamber orchestra wasn't the same as Karajan and the Berlin Phil.
