Remember buying Atari 2600 games and a Tom Petty album from there.

I remember selling a stack of textbooks for pennies on the dollar at the end of the semester and heading over to New Generation for some quality electronics. I owned the Atari printer in that video.

I owned the JVC in-dash cassette deck in one of the commercials.

JVC was badass back in the day.

I can remember drooling over all of the cool hifi components they had. Carpeted shelves with all the units running and lights blinking. Back then Graphic EQ's were hot and it was like a light show.

Bought some records and a Sansui tape deck from there one trip.

And that luscious smell of the hot, particle-board lined stereo units.

Dont know if its the same guy but I vaguely remember the guy who sold and did my install. Drove a blacked out and dropped station wagon.

Cant remember which happened first. Fire, shut down, and then pool hall opened up. We used to go in there and shoot pool for hours on the weekends.

I hated newjew!! Come get some 6 by 9 for $8
Oh, we don't have any but look at these cool Blaupunkt for $800 or these JVC speakers for a steal at only $400. Glad they went out of business..

EQUALIZER LIGHTS ARE COOL!!!!!
