I mostly remember TVs and radios but probably because there was this little
repair shop that my friend and I would pass by when we walked to the store.
I don't know that they only repaired that brand but it had dingy and sun
bleached ads in the window for Philco-Ford. The place was very tiny and
scary looking and we never saw a person in there. We always wondered if it
was still open for business. Then one day they bulldozed it.
