It’s not just electronic specialty stores in Tokyo that are disappearing. We lost one in a neighboring town several years ago, which looked like a time warp into 1981 and at which I found some hard-to-find components. Another nearly got literally washed away by severe flooding two years ago. Fortunately, its customer base got behind it and it recovered.
Support your local independent electronics store, because you don’t wanna be stuck waiting days for online orders to arrive, or be forced to patronize that pitiful den of dysfunction known as Rdio Shck!
