on the SE corner.

YES!!! Voltage is still there.. I bought my '65 BxW 360 there for around
$300 (I traded in an all black '70ish 330 (even the pickguard was
black)-wish I never traded in that sucker.. never saw one like it
again.. My friend was at Voltage last week.. said the vintage 360s were
going for $2700 bucks..
