RE: the end of an era possibly on the horizon

In many major cities, small businesses have been established to take over where Radio Shack left off.

In Seattle, I can go to Vetco and find pretty much any resistor I need, tube sockets, high voltage capacitors, wire, good hand tools made in the US, jacks, NTE components, etc. All of their prices are pretty high (5x online e for small parts), but it's peanuts compared to Radio Shack (20-50x online retail).

The last thing I bought from RS was 5 pocket voltmeters. None of them worked...
