[net.audio] B.I.C. Company

mancello@acf4.UUCP (12/14/84)

Does anyone out there know what has happened to the B.I.C. Company?
I have one of their cassette decks from the late '70s - a T4M and
a pair of their speakers - TPR 400s, but I have not heard of any
product offerings from this company for about 4 years now.  Did they
go out of business.  If not, why no recent component offerings???

Hi,
	I have a BIC tape deck also and would like to know of the parts
supplier that you used.

B.I.C. did, in fact, go out of business, about 2 years ago.
There are still companies around (distributors,
audio warehouses, etc) who have parts. I also
have a BIC tape player and needed parts for it. Unfortunately
I can't remember the name of the place I called but it
is in Long Island, NY...will try to find the name
of the joint if you like.

O.K., here's the address:

    South Street Service Company
    202 South Street
    Oyster Bay, NY  11771
    516 922-0358

As far as I know, they ship UPS anywhere. You could
probably get a catalog by writing to them.

Good Luck!
