Default Radio repair tag from 10/4/88.Customer Greg Maxwell?

Anyone know Greg Maxwell? Located this tag attached to my radio, I was removing the console today and found this tag. Greg was the customer who had it repaired back in 1988. My trail of ownership gets back to 1989 at this point. This might help me get back a little further. Thx, Chuck

Any possible location or general part of the country it might be from? That's got to be a pretty common name, but I do know of one person. The guy would have had the means to own a Vette, too.

Edit: I see you are from the Albany NY area. I don't want to get your hopes up but there was a Greg Maxwell who was President of the Delaware & Hudson Railroad in the 1970's - and the D&H was headquartered in Albany! I have some inquiries out and will let you know if they pan out.

Also had motor work done in 1989 in Wellsville Kansas @ J&N Precision Engine Inc. The owners name on that repair slip was Mike Polk, his local phone # at the time was 843-6855
Mike Polk?

Whitepages.com. Start searching names and location of last known location. If you feel brave you can call them if you find matches

"Google" is your friend. Use it on every receipt, paperwork, whatever you have.

I've talked to the 85 year old owner of J&N in Kansas. What a guy, very interesting. Big Trump supporter !!! A local Police Chief assisted me in locating the shop owner. (Professional courtesy). He was helpful as to what he did with the engine back then. I thought a replacement block had been installed, but he advised me that he blueprinted, bored are reinstalled the original motor. Due to someone changing the auto transmission to a 4spd. somewhere along the line. There was some confusion at the start of my search. I'm convinced now that I have the original motor. #'s match my VIN plate. Thanks for all the tips.

OK, if it was in Kansas at that time, we can eliminate the man by that name I was thinking of who would have been in the Albany NY area. Oh well!
