[HCRA] Where can I get ...?

[Jim Harrington]

I hate to bust your bubble but Macken moved off Union Street years ago 
and last year stopped having a store front. He does most of his selling 
on line and his store front didn't make enough profit to pay the rent of 
the building. If you have his number you can call him and he does sell 
out of his garage. Locally most of the "parts" places are gone. Signal 
closed the Springfield store and transfered stock to Hartford. Most all 
parts are on line now..
