Interesting article in the NY Times on New York City’s foremost seller and repairer of radio scanners:
Mr. Guggenheim is perhaps the city’s foremost seller and fixer of radio scanners, which monitor frequencies used by emergency responders like police officers and firefighters. This makes it the go-to place for spot-news photographers, tow-truck drivers, insurance adjusters and lawyers, who scan for local precinct chatter about car accidents and other incidents that might generate work. Also, Mr. Guggenheim — get this — actually repairs electronic equipment, an anomaly in today’s disposable world. People are always bringing in radios of the ham, citizens’ band and walkie-talkie varieties. New York City and many other municipalities buy them here, too. via The New York Times
