Electronics in West Dundee, IL

“I’m gonna try to sum up the value of this place. I’m an early 80s kid who spent my youth at Roxy wheels roller skating rink and the RC car hobby shop in the same plaza. Century Electronics was located in the same plaza. My friends and I would go in the store and look at all the hifi stereo equipment. This was probably nearing the end of the HIFI stereo era which produced the best iconic stereo equipment of all time. Needless to say we were tolerated even tho we couldn’t afford anything in the store.Fast forward 30 years. My collection of stereo equipment was all manufactured before I was born by a good decade. It’s the type of equipment that you get fixed and will never ever see the bottom up a dumpster. The number of individuals still alive with the skill to service these units and restore them to their glory is dwindling every year that goes by. Century Electronics has not 1, but 2 old school techs that can fix anything from Marantz receivers, McIntosh tube amplifiers to speakers all made before the Vietnam war. They take pride in their work and preserve quality by refusing to use cheap Chinese capacitors and other inferior parts. This is the only place I will take my equipment. Don’t expect to walk in for the ABT style showroom with 100k of product. The back room repair shop is where it’s at here.”

“I am a disabled veteran for whom exercise is critical in order to remain mobile. Unfortunately, I must exercise in the early morning, when it is often dark. I discovered Panther Vision hats and mobile lights which allow me to walk and jog in the dark without fear of tripping or being hit by a car. I emailed comments to Panther Vision and was pleasantly surprised to receive a personal response from their VP of Operations. I was also asked to provide positive or negative feedback in order to improve their products, with which I am very pleased. The company offers a limited lifetime warranty which covers any defects in material or workmanship. Although the products are made in *****, they are designed in ****** (*********). ”
