Bought my SD18's (powered and dummy) at Chan's in 1980. Saved up a long time for them. They have given may good years of service and lots of miles on them.
Ace posted:I went there once about 30 years ago and didn't buy anything. A long narrow crowded store as I recall. I think they screened people with a security camera before they let you in?
The door was always locked. When I lived in SF and went there the door was glass. Essentially walked up to the door, either knocked or rang the bell, and an employee took a look and buzzed in. I don't know why it was like that. The shop was in what seemed to be a good neighborhood on the north end of Van Ness Ave.
