I didn’t always get the price I wanted, but that’s only because I’m a cheap bastard. I certainly didn’t have any complaints, and I really miss your store.

Don’t know if you’ll ever see this but yes, that’s my site.
I’m still pushing electronic crap but no longer through a retail store.
And I’m still in Denver.

I don’t recognize either of you from reading the above but I hope
your experiences with me were mostly good and ALWAYS fair.
If you’d like to contact me feel free.

When did they finally go out of bussiness? It was allways a treat to go in that multisided round building with buckets catching the dripping water everywhere. I just looked at http://www.dhcrump.com. I bet its the same guy.

I left Denver in 84, but made many a trip to there between about 78 when I discovered them and 84.

I wonder if Gateway is still in bussiness. They used to be at about 44th and Federal, and had in infinite supply of Easter egg dye envelopes to put parts in. Later they moved downtown, and eventualy back to about 20th and Federal. I dropped in at the 20th and Federal location once not to long ago (probably 20 years ago….). Recently I saw a website for a Gateway Electronics. I emailed asking if they had a location in Denver, but never heard back.

There was another neat store in Aurora called “bits and pieces” which I visited once or twice.

JB Saunders is still in Boulder, but Boulder is a long way, and to goofy of a city to want to visit anyhow.

Thanks for the fun trip down memory lane.

Les
