I remember being in that section, looking at all that stuff in total wonder of what it all could do!
Electronics class was awesome!!! Made it all clear!!!

Having a local place for that stuff avail on the fly was occasionally a total lifesaver.

We got Active Electronics for a while too.
Nerd HEAVEN!!! I was SO in love with Fluke meters because of that place! There was a Weller SECTION!!!
The store carried GOOD quality components too!

Long gone now I guess.

They did. Not huge, but they did. More than like Walmart is going to have. Not like an old fashioned Radio Shack, but decent.
I used to be a big Radio Shack geek. I would go to the different stores just for fun. I was in the battery of the month club. I geeked out every year (every 6 months?) when I would get the huge catalog in the mail.
It ain't what it used to be, but they had stuff.
Some car audio, too.

Of course times change... I remember being totally in awe of the Tandy robot section!!!

They had a LOT of stuff... some of it was even good!

Hopefully the store puts in a line of RC supplies next!
