Yes, but still ... As a Novice back in 1968, the RS in Wappingers Falls, NY was the go-to place for parts. Even got a part-time job there to pay for them.
We sold a lot of FM Stereo receivers and FM antennas with rotators, turntables, phonograph needles and cartridges - and really pricey speakers too. For a while it was a real money spinner. - 73 and good DX de Mike, K6MKF, President - NCDXC -----Original Message----- From: Elecraft [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tony Estep Sent: Thursday, February 05, 2015 5:34 PM To: Elecraft Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Radio Shack Chapter 11 On Thu, Feb 5, 2015 at 7:19 PM, Lynn W.

Even though we have Gateway Electronics, a truly fabulous source for all kinds of electronic junk, the Shack bailed me out many times. Micro-switches, de-soldering gadgets (theirs were the best!), a variety of ICs and sockets, and lots of miscellaneous stuff. And cables, cables of every kind. Stereo plug on one end, RCA plugs on the other? No problem. All sorts of strange mix-n-match cables. And just low-turnover, low-margin, oddball junk that only a ham stuck in the middle of a homebrew project might buy, once a year or maybe twice. No way they could stay in business with that stuff, but still..... 73, Tony KT0NY ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected] ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
