Boy that brings a shock to the memory. I remember back in the early/mid 1960s, Lafayette had a store directly across the street from the big Allied on Western Ave in Chicago. It was then a double awesome day for a gearhead kid like me when I could talk dad into taking me shopping there.Much missed by some of us -- OK, by me.
While there are great on line archives of old R/S and Allied catalogs... LRE hasn't fared quite so well.
Fortunately, the "worldradiohistory" site has -- somewhat -- improved the situation.
