This corner of Adelaide was a Mecca for electronics enthusiasts in Adelaide in the 70's. Gerard & Goodmans catered for larger corporate buyers, while Mack's electronics a few doors down sold individual components such as transistors and resistors to the more thrifty minded.

For used equipment such as military surplus radios and other components, these old time geeks would scour Robby's Electronics on Long St Port Adelaide, or Louis Cann's on the Parade in Norwood.
