In September, 2005 Retro Electronics purchased a new building at 204
South B Street in Midland. This is in addition to the current Retro Lab
and will also house other new business ventures along with a complete
audio production studio featuring vintage broadcast equipment. Click

Car port at the side of the building.
What began as a Property Tax Consultants office will transform into one
of the largest functioning collections of broadcast equipment and
records anywhere, and then some! Plans also call for the building to
headquarter other business ventures including geological research, and a concessionaire's trailer for food vending.
Here is the building's foyer. Some of the new features to be installed may be a fish tank and artwork.
This office will be the control room for the audio production studio.

SUNROC drinking fountain. The drinking fountain will be relocated to
the recording studio as there is a problem with the drain line under
the slab to the fountain. Also an RO unit will be installed to supply
good tasting water to the fountain.
