Title: Is there someone of you who lives in the Norfolk (VA) area? Post by: vincent on July 19, 2011, 06:32:43 AM I would like to know if the Priest Electronics shop is still there in Tidewater Drive 6431. When I was in Norfolk, in the late eighties, I bought some stuff from them, Triad transformers, Pomona items, etc. I also remember that I bought some B & W coils that were in special offer! They had excellent items. I still have their catalogue.
Thanks. Title: Re: Is there someone of you who lives in the Norfolk (VA) area? Post by: WA3VJB on July 19, 2011, 08:10:20 AM The owner of this website, Steve, K4HX is not far from the area, as well as my bro, Chris KC4CMR.
Chris used to do business at Cain Electronics, but I think one of the principals passed away a few years ago, and the business was supposed to merge with Priest and continue. I did find a website that bears it out -- http://www.priestelectronics.com/ Title: Re: Is there someone of you who lives in the Norfolk (VA) area?

The sales desk is to the right of the entry door but, if I remember well, when I went there it was in front of the door. I believe that they are in a new site. Just a detail. |
