Maytag Store, Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Rt. 309

If you don't know what you are doing, hire someone who does to fix your stove. No one wants to buy a part that an amateur has has installed and then removed just to see if that was the problem.

guy who tries to fix his gas stove without knowing what he is doing...

So get a can of Sterno and start cookin'. Bruce

It's a hobby store that sells appliances on the side!?

Most stores that sell repair parts, auto, appliance, etc. will usually take back all but eletcrical parts. The guy is a jerk. S/V Express 30 "Ringmaster" "Trains are a winter sport"

```````` Actually . . . not so far fetched.

Dad bought me my first HO set when I was a kid from Weitz Appliances up in Chicago.

It was kind of an appliance store that sold trains on the side!

They used to advertize in MR mag back in the 1960's. But Mr. Weithz, and probably the store, are long gone.

BTW, down here (La Salle, IL) we have a pharmacy that sells trains on the side. Owner is an O-scale guy, but sells HO and N stuff, too. Arkins Rexall Drug.

I think that's the vendor I bought an HO NYC diesel from at the GATS in Indy a few years ago. Good price, nice people?

Here in Southern California, there's San-Val that is mostly an aircraft supply (full size ones, its next to Van Nuys Airport) that also sells model trains. Mostly G scale, but a lot more HO and N these days. Great prices, as it is the owner's passion rather than his primary business.

Then there's Long's Drugs in Moreno Valley. A regular Sav-on/Walgreens type drug store, but with a rather extensive train section.

That sound like my kind of place.

You must be talking about Belly Brothers in McPherson. I can't imagine another place like it anywhere... My son and I like to visit there every so often and chcek out the layout, while I check out the consignments. Great folks.
