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.

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 --

Interesting Vincent. I was there around the same time. We used to make 'runs' there when my ship was in NNSY (Portsmouth).

Mike, I was working in the NNB, in the N.Telecommunications Area (I do not remember the Gate#) for a short period of time. Good memories!

I was on the USS America ex(CV-66). When we were in the yards, we would always pick up parts at Priest. I often thought they had another store over in Newport-News.

I was looking to the picture (internal view) in the link posted by WA3V3B (reply #1)
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.
