What about the ultimate Antique / Collectible / Record store on King Street near the Cinema?
It is by far the best in town in my opinion. I just can’t remember what it is called.
Antique Sounds http://www.facebook.com/pages/Antique-Sounds-Newcastle-Australia/103134424888 in King St is a fantastic spot for second hand record collectors. The bloke in there really knows his stuff too.
