Backed up to the Embarrass River and nestled among rolling farm fields and hills carpeted with maples and pines, its residents and neighbors call it Peaceful Valley. Kostlevy and his wife of 36 years, Joanne, have lived here for decades, opening the store and a print shop in the mid-1980s.

A laminated placard indicates the doorway behind her is for authorized personnel only. Above it is a plaque that reads “Aircraft Electronics Association Member.” A soft-spoken man who connects his sentences with “ya know,” Kostlevy asks, “It’s not much, but would you like to see my shop?” Across the hallway from a larger space perfumed by ink and solvent, the room is roughly 12 square feet. On his desk is a laptop computer. Over it are shelves filled with manuals and used equipment. To the left is a file cabinet, to the right is a bench bearing a wire-stamping machine and some sheet metal tools.
