I've gone into Radio Shack probably on average 2 or 3 times a year since I was a young teenager.I used to get the new catalog every year and fantasize about the great selection of stereo gear. RadioShack, SuperScope and SoundDesign's colored LEDs, indicators and specifications filled my head, my dreams and my imagination. Couldn't wait till I could afford that stuff.
Over the last 35 years I can't imagine having spent more than a couple of hundred bucks total in the shop on oddball connectors, splitters, video cables, etc. Probably not even enough profit to cover the costs of the catalogs I used to so enjoy.
What do they sell and how in the heck can they possibly still be in business?
Give me rhythm or give me death!
