Ahh, that explains it.  When I saw the above line, I was thinking "??!!??".  
Lafayette ("Lafayette Radio Electronics", actually) has been out of business 
since probably 1975 or possibly earlier.  I used to get parts there when I was 
a kid, and still have a great old power amp from them which is labled "Knight", 
which is their brand name.

Funny to see them mentioned anywhere again.  Olsen Electronics was another 
chain that faded away about the same time, and were pretty much identical to 
Lafayette.  (And another that I used to spend a lot of time in.)
