737: Sculley and Heil
Music Store Beginnings, Fixing Fender Amplifiers
After a career as a professional organist, Bob Heil opened a Hammond Organ franchise in Marissa, Illinois. He describes how his ham radio background allowed him to easily repair broken Fender guitar amplifiers for local musicians. This reputation for technical skill quickly spread, leading him to service equipment for touring bands and promoters in the St. Louis area.
