I've
been selling music for close to thirty four years, 25 of them
right here in the shop. We have loads of vinyl and inexpensive cds.
While the sixties are my specialty, we have quite a lot of punk, new
wave, jazz. fifties and R n' B. Throw away your price guides
because we don't use 'em. I think they're highly over rated and way
over priced. I don't want to have a museum here and all are priced to
sell. I've got listening stations set up for vinyl and cds so you're
not buying a "pig in a poke". You buy these to listen to...not to look
at; so I guarantee each and every item I put out. Sorry no "flavor of
the week" stuff here; we're not a maul store and don't want to be..
This
is the largest indie store in the state and it does take quite a bit of
time to see everything there is to see. I really should re-locate
to New York City or Boston, the stock is that good! But, here I am in
Waterbury the back end of the universe. So it goes...
I do buy large collections of vinyl...give me a call or drop me a line...
The Brass City Tool Shop
I
sell records for a living but I have a passion for woodworking and old
tools. I really enjoy sharing both with anyone who will listen, and
sometimes even people who will not listen. I own the only record store
I know of with a functioning, though small, woodworking bench. I offer
some fine wood working tools, most over 75 years old, and some well
over 100 years old. They all still do what they were intended to do.
Most were made right here in Connecticut within a stones throw of
where I sit. The tools that I sell are tools that I would be proud to
have in my own collection, or that I do have in my collection.
I
clean for use but I do not believe in the "shiny tool" Syndrome .
Blades will be sharp and ready to use, but it's up to you to put the
final touches on the bevel. Soles will be flat for use but not polished
. Please send your requests for tools and parts. I've got so many I
couldn't possibly list them all. I guarantee all the tools I sell
100%...money back guarantee, just like the old days. Payment by cash,
check, money order, charge card or paypal.
I only
buy tools that I would be proud to own. I look for good "bones" ie:
solid castings, good wood, and functioning mechanicals.
I
also buy old woodworking tools, particularly pattern makers and
jointer's tool chests. If you have had a family member who worked in
this trade please contact me. I personally collect scraper planes and
spokeshaves.
