Went to Ratio Shaq to buy electronic parts to complete a project recently. Had
to spend $6 for a set of resistors, as those formerly available $1 per pair
offerings had mysteriously diminished. Told the clerk about how strange that
seemed, along with no longer seeing boxes of woofers-n-tweeters for speaker mod
projects. "Parts are no longer profitable for Tandy", he explained." We make
our profits on cell phones and satellite dishes". Just remember that scenario
next time a clerk, who is supposed to have answers, goes blank when you inquire
about a shortwave-related subject.
