Oh, you weren't talkinga bout the tower of the gods...
Okay, that's just plain ol' technology, and very primitive by our standards, but advanced for them. As for generators, they probably have soemthing there. They don't need to show it all in those stores. I mean, you don't see generators around your house, but they are THERE. For those stores, in those cities, there is likely some small power generators for personal use, considering they aren't advanced enough to make a grid (all things considering, I can see neon lights being invented before filiment lights, and thus the idea of an electric light replacing candles wouldn't really be considered if they only had neon). They would probably just use some sort of chemical thing for the power in the back room, likely VERY inefficient whatever the source. They do know how to burn a bit more than gun powder anyway, I think... Eh, no need to go TOO far into that though. Just take it that they have some sort of really basic generator used to power very small and merely novelty type things, like neon lights and the ol' victroli. Heck, they might even be using a big sack of potatos to make the electricity, or something similar :D.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
