I'm personally wondering how Radio Shack remains relevant in the face of Best Buy and other big-box consumer electronics outlets. In other words, I wouldn't be that surprised to see Radio Shack stores leave business before too long. Dana |

Dana I was in the Oaks Mall in Ocala the other day where I counted six booths selling pager and cell phones down the center of the mall, and there were probably a couple more in some of the other stores. -- 25 days!

Yes, now they only sell toys, cell phones and Direct TV systems.
"Howard" wrote in message om... Recent visits to my local Radio Shack for even the most simple components has left me disappointed. Recently I had the need for 5 10uf electrolytics at any voltage really, and could not find them at 3 local stores. There used to be a selection of 25 or so IC's that were widely used and popular...no more tho. Even a simple LM386 could not be found around here. Also, the parts are now being jammed into these ugly parts bins as if to hide them from view. Is this the same situation where you live? One manager mentioned that components are no longer a real concern of management and that he is under the impression that "parts" are on the way out soon. Wouldn't that just be the way...the old local electronics places are out of business, and the Shack eliminates their parts. They sure do have answers, don't they? de WA2AFD |
