    Fuck, I miss Radio Shack. Since they’ve closed I have to order every electronics component online.

      There are still a few locations left in the world, and I believe at this point they’re all privately owned “Radio Shack Authorized Reseller” locations. I know for a fact there’s one in Petersburg, West Virginia.

      The rights to the Radio Shack name are owned by Unicomer Group now, and they’re the ones running the lurching husk that comprises the web site above. Their product selection seems to consist entirely of white-box Chinese radios, headphones, Bluetooth speakers, wireless charging pucks, and other sundry cheap electronics of that ilk, but all bearing the Radio Shack brand name. But they also still sell batteries, apparently.
