1. Are there any good audio/stereo discounters in the Boston area?
(There are none here in the Northwest, and I'll be in Boston later
this month so I thought I'd do some shopping for a Sony TC-K555
cassette deck. Best price in the Portland (Oregon) area is $390;
Illinois Audio in Chicago sells it for $280... by mail.)
Any comments on Trolley Stereo in Waltham?
2. In April, Sony told the audio/stereo mail-order discount houses
that they could not sell Sony audio/stereo equipment (other than
Walkman) to anyone more than 150 miles from the store. Does anyone
know what the fair-trade laws say about this?
(I've bought some good Sony equipment this way, and have saved a
bundle, but, alas.... no longer. There aren't any mail-order
discount houses within 150 miles of Portland. The mail-order
discount houses say they can ship to a friend within the 150-mile
radius, and he can forward to you... IF you have a friend in the
area.)
Thanks in advance for suggestions and comments.
