Gus Rubino, a fixture on West King Street in Malvern for more than 40 years with his electronics repair business, is calling it a career, writes Pete Bannan for the Daily Local News.

Recently, Rubino was cleaning out the last of his tools from his small shop as customers came in to pick up the last of their repaired electronics – television sets, stereo turntables and speakers, VCRs, and amplifiers – which Rubino has brought back to life.

“It’s been a good run,” said Rubino, 80. “I don’t really know why I’m retiring now. Working a six-day-a-week business, it will be nice to take more day trips with Wilma,” his wife, who handled the books for the business.

Rubino grew up in Wayne and started working in electronics in 1955 at his Uncle Sam Rubino’s television repair shop in Paoli.

In the early 1960s, Rubino was in the Army, where he also repaired electronics. Later, he attended the Radio Electronic Institute in Philadelphia. When his uncle retired in 1975, Rubino opened his own shop in Malvern and has been there ever since.
