Now you can buy all this stuff online, but back in the day Ack was
the only place to buy parts for vintage tube amplifiers. And they
had a guy working there, Kevin, who would do repairs for a very
reasonable price. He could either fix it, or give you advice and
sell you the right parts.<br>

It was closer to Radio Shack than a seller of computers, but I
really miss Ack Electronics, which used to be at 554 Deering Road
in Atlanta. If you were running co-ax cable or CAT-5e/6 cable (by
the foot or by the roll) or needed connectors or cover plates or
tools, that was the place to get it. They did lots of business
with Georgia Tech; then Amazon put a shipping center right on
Tech's campus a couple of years ago, and that was the end of Ack
Electronics.<br>

For people who live near Emory University, there's a great little
place called Trend Technology at Clairemont and North Decatur,
which I highly recommend. The owner's name is <span
class="section-review-text">Sukru, and he's always given me good
advice and sold me quality stuff when I've been in the market
for used computers or needed to upgrade components for my
existing equipment.<br>
