The CKPG pics brought back some 'fond' memories, mostly of the proximity to the bar across the street.

(If you look very carefully at the colour pic, you'll see where I scratched my initials into the wood... which means this photo was taken after 1975.)

Another Stan Davis Board, ITC triple deck cart machine, couple of McCurdy turntables with Empire arms.
Pretty basic operation.

John Sykes circa 1905, just off his covered wagon after heading west from Montreal.

Looks like a young Pierre Berton...

According to the CBC, Berton "got his start in both broadcasting and newspaper writing at the same place: the University of British Columbia. He was editor of the campus newspaper The Ubyssey, and was also the campus correspondent for a Vancouver daily. UBC had no radio station of its own at the time, but as a member of the school's radio society, Berton hosted school-themed programs on local Vancouver stations."
