Vinyl spins Not-so-Polar Plunge true for local store owner By Jason Arndt STAFF WRITER

When David Prucha decided to leave the auto sales business 17 years ago to open a record store in Antioch, his wife Christine thought he was crazy. With the rise of the compact disc and subsequent advancements in technology that allows people to download digital music, no one could blame her. However, since Prucha opened Track One Vintage Stereo in Antioch, he has bucked the trend and reports business continues to boom. “I have got customers that come from Indiana, Green Bay, Rockford and Madison – everywhere,” Prucha said. “It is hard to find a store like this.” Prucha has about 8,000 records, mostly priced at $5, with the highest at around $40. While he sells compact discs, he said customers still come in for records, citing 20 records for every CD sold. “There is probably more customers now than when I opened. It is about sound quality,” he said. “Nothing sounds like a piece of vinyl. The nice thing about records

is that you can’t beat it.” Antioch resident Gig Gluck is one customer who prefers records over CDs, noting the sound has a wider range. Contrary to popular belief, there are new vinyl records being produced, with an average price of $40, Prucha said. The age of Prucha’s customer base is between 40-50, but he has a customer who is 11 years old, with his oldest in the upper 70s. “An 11-year-old comes in with his father and they buy records,” he stated. Another method to maintaining a constant flow to his business is his repair service. Prucha has an electronics repair certificate from Chicago’s DeVry Institute. “I have evolved into a big repair shop because of my reputation and talent in the repair area,” he said. “Word started getting around about doing repairs well, and it took off.” He said turntables on vintage record players are most durable, with the majority of repairs targeted toward replacement of needles and belts.

They were amongst the 300-plus participants in the 2016 Polar Plunge presented by the Law Enforcement Torch Run and GEICO. The Polar Plunge is a statewide initiative in support of Special Olympics athletes. Participants must raise $100 in donations and, in turn, get to jump into a frigid body of water in their Illinois locale. All proceeds collected by plungers benefit the 22,000 traditional athletes and 21,000 Young Athletes of Special Olympics Illinois. The Fox Lake event raised over $60,000 for the Special Olympians. Though air temperatures away from the lake flirted with both sides of the 60-degree mark, participants and the crowd on hand endured a strong wind off the waters making for a chilly experience, though still warmer than a typical February afternoon. The water temperature was in the mid-30s.
