[SEDXC] Radio Shack

[David Thompson]

Years ago Radio Shack was a "real" amateur gear and electronics parts place. 
I have a 1962 catalog that looks like an Allied radio one with all the gear 
and parts.  Hams have been the CEO in the past say 20 years and that is why 
the started radioshack.com (some remember the store on Buford Highway that 
took over part of the original Home Depot).

I bought a lot of stuff there and when they closed they sold MFJ and 
Ameritron for 1/2 off.

Now the parts are mostly in a cabinet in the back of the store.  You just 
have to go look for yourself.  I have the last catalog they printed (2002) 
and have bought stuff to repair amps.  They have dropped ham gear and even 
kits and the sales people only know cell phones.  They don't want to be 
bothered with parts or shielded wire questions.
