<div> 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.<br>
