    Interesting place
    Stop in here and talk to the man that owns this establishment. He's full of knowledge and information and it was so interesting to speak with him. He walked through some of the equipment with us -- even played some of the record players. Super neat space.

    This place is a hoot!
    When if Jefferson, we LOVE to visit this gem. No charge (donations accepted) to see a lot of really cool clocks, surveying schtuff, antique music devices (and the owner will demo them all for you)..... and a crazy assortment of salt and pepper shakers. You ask - what do all of these things have in common? The answer is ....nothing. :) Stop in and see it - you won't be sorry!
