Let me look in my Jackson phone book,,,,,,, I saw nine listings for
Radio Shack stores in the Jackson area.There is one that opened less
than a year ago at that strip mall thingy at Greenway Drive and Highway
18 next to the wal mart store about a mile and a half South of me (South
is always best) and one at Metrocenter Mall www.metromalljackson.com
about 275 footsteps (I have walked over there and counted my footsteps
before,so I know) South of me just across Higway 80 and there is or used
to be one about a mile and a half East of me on Ellis Ave and there is
or used to be one at Northpark Mall www.visitnorthpark.com about
twelve miles North of me.I don't care if all of the Radio Shack stores
and all of the Tandy stores in the World bite the dust.They sell nothing
but junk anyway.

Radio Shack in the U.S. needs to redefine itself. The
employees and store managers have very little (f any)
saavy except as cellular phone salesman. At the 4 RS outlets near me,
it's near impossible
to get any REAL help. Most store
are poorly stocked (inluding employees) that
have to real interest in their work. Luckily I found
an independant Electronics Parts store where you can actually go in
with a parts list and schematic and ANY of the peope there will pull
the parts for youand substitute if possible with something equivalent.
The owners (2 Hams) have been there 25 years and they will actually
order
almost anything for you with a small deposit. When it arrives, they
test itand make sure it's operation in order. If not THET either return
it or repair it under warantee. Their prices are about 10% over
discount mailorder places, but if it is something that you don't want a
problem with it's well worth it. Batteries I do buy online in bulk and
if they are fresh will last
for 2 or more years.

I looked in my Jackson phone book under,Electronic Equipment &
Supply.There is Bridges & Sheffield Electronics Inc at Tower Plaza
Shopping Center.Ellington Electronic Supply Inc on Terry Road.Fountain
Electronics on Highway 18.Hooper's Stereo & Video on Terry
Road.Industrial Control Solutions Inc on Elton Road.Pro Audio Center on
Highway 49 South.I have been to Ellington's and Hooper's several times
before and if they don't have it,they can get it for you.The folks at
Ellington's and Hooper's are elderly folks and they do know the products
they sell.Ellington's has been in Jackson for almost as long as I can
remember.Sort of like some of those old auto stores and plumbing supply
stores and industrial supply stores and employee's that have been around
since forever.And Ellington's and Hooper's doesn't sell cell phones
either and they don't try to pressure you into buying something you
probally don't want.
