Your one-stop shop for drums and hats…read more Yup, lots of percussion instruments of all kinds - drums of every description, gongs, rainsticks, cowbells...and hats. The owner, Tom, is a friendly and helpful guy. Hours are "usually" 11-5, but it's best to call first. "Ithaca's headquarters for djembes, congas and all types of hand drums. Expert repair service on site." (I forget where I got this quote, but I had it in my contacts for this shop.)

They may not have the huge selection of Best Buy but they have a nice selection of tvs, stereos, and speakers to fit just about every need and price range. And the prices are just as good as best buy. The guys there are about a thousand times more knowledgeable than any of the "geek squad" folks. Plus they have tons of great vintage stereos, speakers, and record players for sale.

Back in the day Stellar Stereo was a great place to buy Laserdiscs. I would stop there at least…read moreonce a week to check out what they had in and the majority of the time I left with a new Laserdiscs. Many times I'd end up getting 4 or 5! They also did repairs on pretty much any kind of home audio/video devices. One time my Pioneer Laserdisc player was having trouble with the dual side play feature so I brought it into Stellar Stereo. I told the man at the counter the problem and asked if he had a rough estimate on how long they would have it. I was addicted to movies at the time and didn't want to be without my beloved Laserdisc player for long! He said to me "If you're not in a hurry I can take a look at it right now. If the problem is what I think it is I can have it fixed for you in half an hour or less. I was surprised to hear that and also skeptical that it could be fixed so fast. He took it apart right there on the counter and said some sort of belt had broken that allows the player to play both sides of the disc. He went into his backroom and got a belt and had it fixed and put back together in a matter of minutes! He plugged it in and grabbed a Laserdisc so we could test it and sure enough it was playing both sides with no problem! I thanked him for fixing it so quickly and asked how much did I owe. He said something like "I get a big bag of those belts at once so they end up costing me less than a dollar. He said you've been coming in here for years buying Laserdiscs so no charge since it was a simple fix." I said I really appreciate that but please let me pay you something, if you hadn't fixed it some other place would have charged me an arm and a leg and would have probably taken a week to fix. But he wouldn't accept any money. So I ended up buying three Laserdiscs from him that day with the money I had saved on the repair. I can even remember what they were. I got Con-Air,Austin Powers and Face-Off. I always highly recommended Stellar Stereo to all my friends and family. About a year later my dad bought an awesome home theatre system from them and got it at a great price. If they are even open again I highly recommend you stop in and check out the awesome equipment they have. Both vintage and new.

"I didn't work for me." "It's probably your outlet." "Oh, okay. I didn't think to try a different outlet. Thanks. I would like it cleaned, new filters, etc." "That'll be $49.99." "Okay. Will you call when it's ready?" "Yes." I verified the number they had was correct and waited and waited and waited. Called in July. "He's not here now, but he's really backed up." Waited some more. Called today (August 23, 2024). "He's on vacation. But I see your machine is on his workbench. It appears to be done. It says he replaced the filter. You can pick it up. It'll be $24.99." Multiple complaints and some general whining about the long wait, zero calls to update me. No apology. It's back home and appears to be running and the filter does look new. Other than that, I can't say. I just hope it doesn't need servicing again, because as far as I can tell, this is the ONLY place in the area that repairs vacuum cleaners. Maybe that's how they get away with such horrible customer service.
