That might have been another store, but I know it was on the west side of Lincoln in that area. I remember one across the street, and maybe another one on the same side as your Dad's.

I'll ask my dad exactly what year he retired. But it had to have been around 1985 or 1986. The store remained vacant briefly (exact amount of time, I'll have to ask), but Siam Best moved in - with no intervening occupants. There was a TV shop across the street (NW corner) of Venice HS, but I do not remember any other TV shop on Lincoln in the vacanty of my dad's store. And I worked for my dad, on Saturdays (school months) and fulltime during the summers during JHS, HS and a bit of my college days ('62-'73ish), and I have no memory of a Lincoln Blvd store. My dad started his business on what is now Abbot Kinney, north of Venice Blve in the late '40s. Moved to the Lincoln Blvd address in the very late '50s, very early '60s time frame.
