VISIT AND CONTACT
Visit and contact
The Vintage Pioneer Club showroom is in Westbeemster, North Holland, between Purmerend and Alkmaar in the Netherlands. You are welcome by appointment. Do you have a question about a unit, a combination or a model you are looking for? Feel free to ask.
Come and see and listen
A photo tells you a lot, but vintage hi-fi is something you want to see, feel and hear. The weight of a control knob, the meters moving with the music, the lighting in a dim room. In the showroom you can take your time looking at and listening to the equipment in the collection.
Do you already have equipment at home? Bring the model numbers, so we can think along about what goes with it. If you would like to listen with your own music, mention it in your request and we will see what is possible.
A listening appointment commits you to nothing.
Why by appointment?
Because a visit deserves time and attention. With an appointment we know in advance what you are coming for and have plenty of room for your questions.
Where to find us
The showroom is in Westbeemster, in the middle of the Beemster polder. It is a short drive from Purmerend and Alkmaar, and easy to reach from Amsterdam, Hoorn and Zaanstad.
Drop-off, collection and shipping
We prefer you to collect a unit from the collection yourself. That way you see and hear it before you take it home. If you are offering equipment of your own, we agree when you bring it or how it is collected.
Shipping is possible by agreement. Vintage hi-fi is heavy and fragile, and not every unit is suited to it. We look at it unit by unit.
