Yeah Dave, they actually had a separate room with the aluminum frame and plate glass whole length door, just as you would have for an entrance door to a business. The room was very dim and I think the sets were positioned around the walls with a group in the middle as well. Very dim so it made the sets just stand out. Time frame was mid 1966 to the end of 1967 (when I got drafted).
That was my first job, EJ Korvette. Can you imagine being a teenager, working in the Audio Department, selling all of that component audio equipment? We had an aluminum frame glass door also that was locked when the store was closed. No consoles allowed in our room! They were sold out in the appliance department.
