Its story
Dennis and Sylvia opened in 1982 with twelve devices and two sockets. She tests batteries; he presents every button as a reason to replace a telephone.
In 1985, a green-screen model arrived on Monday, followed by a newer model Tuesday. Sylvia kept both manuals to prove the exact duration of their technological lead.
Anecdotes
- In August 1984, customer Ellis Ward brought a suitcase for a phone advertised as “lighter”.
- In December 1985, a Melvin cassette measured beeps; Sylvia wrote three decimal places on the demonstration sheet.
- In June 1986, Dolores Van Pelt inaugurated the $99 display; Dennis then itemised battery, charger and handset.

Good to know
- The $99 price refers to the basic offer itemised at the counter.
- Sylvia sticks “until Tuesday” behind the “most modern” label.
