"HiFi Buys had Lansing, E Lansing and other ones too...gone a long time...Karl was the owner I believe.."
Correct! He was Czech. He had a guy named Bill who ran service for the whole chain--I would triage equipment in the AA store and if I could fix it, cool. If not, got shipped to Bill in Lansing every day who had a very high end tech shop set up behind the Lansing store.
Lot of firsts that year:
1. First time hearing Tympanis (at Karl's house during the annual Christmas party for his employees).
2. First time drinking aquavit (also at Karl's).
3. First time I got lucky with a natural red head (she worked next door the shop in a deli....:)
