Nestled in Huntington Beach on the corner of Springdale and
Edinger in Orange County California is a rare find, an Aladdin's cave of vintage TVs radios
amplfiers turntables and a host of collectible memorabilia.
Since the eary 70's Jerry Tagliaferri (Tag for
short), has collected rare items from around the world, some that he is so attached to, you would
literally have to twist his arm inside out over his head to get him to even think of
selling.
For Beatles lovers there is a set of the "Fab Four" plus a
rare paper video Ask Jerry nicely and who knows they could be available.
Among my favorites in the "mini museum," a rare Motorola VT-71 7
inch TV with it's original table. Jerry calls this the model "T" of televisions. There is also
an incredible 1946 RCA 630-TS which was the first mass produced TV sold in the US.
The display of vintage TVs is almost overwelming, I
discovered a round JVC "Video Sphere" from 1974 and a really cool 7 inch 1949 Tele-tone that's
designed like a briefcase with carrying handle.
Elvis Presley Marilyn Monroe...
This store holds many a suprise, you will discover old Elvis
Presley and Marilyn Monroe art, clocks, really unusual TV salt and pepper shakers and an unusual TV
light. Ask Jerry to show you this, and the story behind it is very interesting.

As a Stones concert played on one of
Jerry's TV's we reminisced about the early 70's I mentioned my time kicking
balls on the soccer field with Rod Stewart way back when.
Recently I saw some neat items Dean
Torrence (Jan and Dean) had collected over the years and you can bet I will be
telling him about this store and mini museum.

For vinyl record collectors, there is a huge
inventory tucked in the backroom behind the main store, who knows what treasures
you will find there and the cool part, I saw a $6 sign on most of
them!
In this fast paced disposable environment we
experience today, it is refreshing to meet Jerry with his passion and life
acquisitions. Yes here is a store where the only pressure you might feel is not
from someone trying to sell you something, it will be the pressure you might like
to put on Jerry to part with something. Now there's a twist!
