It was crazy !! They had all these vintage parts laying around like nothing ! .. I didn't pull any stuff out to take pics , It was all just sitting on the bench !

A good fan never abandons his team !! Even when they have the worst September collapse of any team in baseball history !!

BOBBO · 11-18-2007, 02:14 PM

For forum members looking to aquire vintage LP parts I would say these guys have alot of stuff !!!

LVC · 11-18-2007, 05:26 PM

Wow -- I did not know these guys even existed. I always shoot down to Lark Street Music -- these guys are not to far from Buzzy's place.

Will definitely stop by this week....will make it a point to leave my credit card home

It just kinda looks that way in the pic .. I'm pretty detail oriented as far as the vintage accuracy of my R8 !! I made him install like 10 different tuners till he got them all right !! ..... Here is a 1958 with real buttons and mine are spaced exactly the same as it !!

1958

R8

I'm pretty obsessed about the vintage accuracy of my R8 ! So as you can see by the comparison pic with BOTB . I have changed almost everything to vintage correct !!

BOBBO · 03-16-2008, 12:10 PM

For those of you on the forum looking for vintage Gibby parts .. Hoboken has lots of those in stock !!! The prices aint cheap but vintage stuff is getting harder to find all the time !!

bigtoe · 03-17-2008, 06:52 PM

I need some kleenex....

BOBBO · 05-02-2008, 06:35 PM

I was looking at vintage parts on Ebay and saw that Hoboken sells under the name partsdrawer ... Seems like the bad economy has brought vintage stuff down a lil .. Some reasonable prices ..
