What's Next?

Every week from now to New Year's Eve we will have different in-store deals, so come by to see what craziness is going on.

Need that unique Holiday gift?  Try our In Record Time record clocks that we make here in the store.  They are a great idea for the guy that already owns every record in the universe, or the person just starting out in building their collection.  If we don't have the one you want we will make one just for you.  Prices are only $25 -$35 and come with our 1-year warranty.  And yes, the battery is included!

Another great gift idea is one of our NOS still sealed records, which you can find listed in our eBay listings under upscale.tom.

We have taken about 1000 cd's and dvd's from our on-line stash and put them out for half-price ($3- $4 ea.)  These are the discs that have to look like new, not the usual bargain ones we put out.  Also, we've added a few hundred "new arrivals" lp's and $3 bargain lp's, so we've got all sorts of cool stuff for you.  Hours this weekend are 12 noon - 6PM Friday and Monday, with regular Saturday and Sunday hours.  We hope to see you here!

We are moved-in but it will be a little crowded at first so please come visit and be careful.

I'd like to thank friends and customers who helped move us into this space.  
As for those that offered and then never showed, "the road to hell is paved with good intentions."

Special mention must be made for our long-time friend and professional mover Leif Johnson (leifjohnsonmoving@yahoo.com), which we have used the past 15+ years.  He is always on time, gives a good price, and has never damaged anything of ours.  His company moved us into Berwyn 12 years ago, so it's only fitting he helped us get us over here.

Also deserving of special mention is another long-time friend JJ.  He has helped almost every day over the past few weeks, and always checks in to see if he's needed that day.  I could not have gotten this done without his help.

Open our regular hours and hope to see you soon!

Construction is now finished, although the quality of work is not great.  We will not reveal who did this work, but suffice to say we would never use them again.  However, in a quick look the store has never looked better.  With the store having sold in June we will not pursue getting a new lease, with the chance of another drunk driver plowing through the store a probability.

Accident Part I - How's the Store?

We finally have the showroom put back together as/of  10/24/20.  There were many compromises made in order to get finished but the quality of the work is great. Some changes are for the better, with some due to material availability, but most customers are loving the new look.  We are grateful we can be open at all, and appreciate and respect the efforts the State of IL and the Berwyn government are making to help keep us ALL safe.

Worlds' First Drive-Thru Stereo Store?

The early morning of 11/17/19 saw a possibly inebriated driver visiting our store, and after driving through our front window I can attest that, truly, we had a "brick and mortar" and glass storefront.  There will be more details as they become available, but for now life goes on as usual here at UAE.  In fact, we opened on time on the 17th after spending the night clearing our showroom.  No one was hurt, but the clean-up has been ongoing and much vintage gear was damaged or destroyed.
