Having a change of pace after leaving AKL.

I'd though I was up for a CHALLENGE !  so . . I have 

A 1000sqm facility filled to the brim with Vintage Hifi & Spare parts  ( recently in 2020 gathered 20 pallets from 583 , made up of mostly Allied , Pye , Thorn , AMI/CEI , Autocrat & Philips factories  closure inventory.  - For those newer people Technics/National , Akai, Prolab , Bell/Majestic/NEC/JVC , Sanyo/Fisher , Hifi International )
Out of this, I plan to create a Sales & Repairs bastion for Enthusiasts & the many items that have gone before. DSE , Stylus & Vinyl sheds included.

Ultimately a Museum or virtual one ( NZhifiengine perhaps ) .

Still lots of mistakes & challenges to be made , fixed & or solved !!!

Excellent!

Tell us more once you've settled in.

Sounds amazing, wonderful, and obviously a lot of work ahead, hopefully mostly joyful! ;=})

Cataloguing... ideally you already have lists.

Where did you leave to / arrive at?

What's "583"?

Stylus and vinyl. The styli collection could be interesting, as even earlier DSE, let alone vinyl.

(I have a couple of full thick A4 ring binders of DSE kits, thrown out when the K' Rd store closed.)

Sheds. Wow. My last flat in K' Rd was ~100sqm I think, a whole top floor, so that's a perspective.

I know what you mean about an nz hif/vinyl engine format, but you might as well be unique, take some time to think about it;-)

Please keep us informed!

Thanks!

Thanks for the encouragement.

We've moved in ( 2020 ) but not open . Currently with 10,000 line items ( millions & millions of parts ).
Over 1000 different types of N.O.S. knobs as an example.
Over 1km of linear shelving installed + more to come.
1000's valves not yet sorted or tested. A Pallet worth.

Left AKL to Franklin / North Waikato

583 refers to the St number. I'd be interested if anyone else had access - A video of the 4 floor building is on FB & reddit.
I got there when 95% had gone so I've estimated there was 400 pallets of Electronic parts. Maybe more than the Tradetech 2017 collapse ?
I cleared the building into Demo time. i.e. I was still clearing ( night-time 7pm to 2am ) as the Excavators took apart the place during the day.

Stylus & vinyl inventory is mostly U.S. I've been working with the new/old owners of A.D.C. / Empire + others in the parts closure fields namely Stanton/ Gemini.
Some gems have turned up of course.

Thanks for all that!

(Glad for the gen on gems:-)

I'd started to write on styli & valves, NOS, vs testing, customer punt. but cut, too much for now.

Best wishes!

583 whatever street is not a very searchable option.

Links might be interesting?

Yeah, in my protracted moving out of the last place, the new owner granted extra time, I was working around demolition  & new build people.

I got out intact in the end..
