ABOUT US......

Old Retro Store started long ago, about 30 years ago, as a pipe dream. As a young kid, owner/ operator, Wade Harper, always had his hand in the tinkering of electronics. As, time passed, Wade tried and tested many NEW and VINTAGE home audio systems and after many replacements and repairs to the JUNK FOOD OF STEREOS, Wade always went back to the 60's, 70's & 80's gear...no plastic, no LEDSs, no USBs...just metal, wood & knobs...The Meat and Potatoes...of home audio.

After searching, Wade discovered that there was no stores in the Calgary and surrounding areas that supply pre-owned vintage gear or any service centers that will repair vintage gear....SO.....In 2006 Wade, opened That Old Retro Store and since then has been a haven for vintage audio enthusiasts.

At That Old Retro Store we know that our customers work hard for their money so we understand that getting your monies worth is important...so come in shop around, ask questions, and have a listen...we will try our best to work within your budget. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND....when buying or trading at our store we obviously need to make a profit to keep our business alive. So keep in mind that when we buy or take something in trade, we have to prepare the item for sale...doing this involves repairing, cleaning, finding and acquiring replacement parts.

    REPAIR......

    So when you are at loss for repairing your vintage gear and the local repair store tells you we do not work on that old stuff or they can't find parts....bring it to us. With a good description of the units problems, Joseph can fix just about anything.

    When you bring in your gear to us, it is repaired for the initial problem and then we will clean and performance test the item to insure correct operation. Our labor rate in $70.00 per hour (plus taxes), which is worth every penny, especially when we bring back your stereo gear to its former glory. We do have a $40.00 (plus taxes) diagnostic charge, payable when you drop off your piece.
