Seems like there’s a Nosy Neighbor column in here…does “Winter Radio Lab” still exist? What’s the history of this place?
The July 1947 issue of ”Electronics” published by McGraw-Hill Publishing Company stated “Arthur Winters has established Winters Radio Laboratory at 11 (sic, per Google) Warren St., New York City for specialized servicing of communication equipment and television receivers. His firm is now the authorized Hallicrafters service center for the northeastern area.”
Membership directories of the Institute of Radio Engineers from the late 1950s list an Arthur Winters, apparently as a member since 1949, as the owner of “Winters Radio Lab” on Warren St.
On Page 32 in the May 1948 issue of COMMUNICATIONS ran the following ad:
