Quoted from Captain_Kirk:I miss the old Radio Shack I grew up with in the 70's and 80's. There used to be neat stuff there.
Now it's just a small, poorly run consumer electronics store.
Our local Radio Shacks have a decent amount of basic stuff in the drawer system they have had for a few years. They also started carrying electronic project kits again.
I was really surprised last time I went in and got a couple high fives for buying a 7805 regulator for our Asteroids. That led to a discussion about video games and pinball. One of the guys behind the counter is in the process of making a MAME machine even.
And no... not one mention of me needing a new cell phone.
