Allied has not been owned by Tandy for decades. If it had, they would
not have set up their Tech America (then Radio Shack Plus) industrial
distributor experiment, (8-10 years ago), that they have since shut down.

Allied was part of Avnet, last I knew, but who owns what industrial
distributor at any one time is best described as a game of musical
chairs.
