kulebeanz Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 OATES at the bottom of Wadsley Lane/Willis Road. Two brothers, Tony and Geoff hired out, sold and repaired T.V.'s and other electronics. Their parents had the grocers shop next door, the two shops joined by a door inside with a curtain hanging. Bought my 1st solid state radio off them late 60's to listen to Luxemburg, way before we had a record player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
