Sounds like the original concept of a Maker Space used today.

I was a Junior at Newton South High school when they opened the Needham location in 1964 - so, close by. It was one floor only and so a far cry from what it became.... and what it is today. I remember that a good portion of the store had work benches, individual cubes with peg board sides and power strips. The idea was that people would come in, buy kits and/or parts, and work on their projects on site. That did not last long. They added the second floor in the middle to late seventies IIRC - I had moved out to the wilds of Tewksbury by then but still made periodic pilgrimages. Sad to see them go.

I received this email today.

To all our valued customers, 

 

Join us in commemorating the legacy of iconic “You-do-it” Electronics Center. For 75 remarkable years, we've been the cornerstone of the electronics industry, delivering exceptional products and unparalleled service.

 

After many fulfilling years of serving our community, we're announcing the closure of our beloved store. While the decision to close is bittersweet, we know that the memories created will endure. 

 

As we prepare for this transition, we encourage you to come say goodbye and take advantage as we sell off our existing inventory and place special orders for popular products. Additionally, we will be selling office furniture and industrial shelving at deep discounts.

 

Please note we will be closed Saturday, May 25 through Monday, May 27 for Memorial Day Weekend. Our new hours of operations starting Tuesday May 28 will be 10am to 5pm Monday through Friday. 

 

Thank you for your patronage. Stay tuned for details on the exact closing date and any special events in the upcoming weeks. 

I've personally spent many an hour (and $$) wandering the aisles in Needham.  I'll def. have to make one last trip down to grab some deals!

So long and farewell to "You-Blew-It"!

Tim - K1DC
