Burnaby Radio on East Hastings in Vancouver - https://www.burnabyradio.com

Is a radio listener, scanner, Ham radio operators sweet dream with racks of
gear, hand helds brochures, antennas and
an active HAM station in the showroom area.

I brought back some Canadian color bandplan charts if any of the local ham
guys need one.

Do any other cities have such a collection?Surely a sociological 
paper must be in the offing to explain why such a concentration of 
geekishness?   These outfits have an online presence, but actual 
storefronts as well are still being maintained.


I guess there's two elements to the Radio Shack nostalgia.   Parts, 
yes (and apparently we still have those), but stores with actual radiosno.

There are around three electronics shops on Main St. in Vancouver that cater to 
DIY ENGINEER and hacker types. 

I've been in - amazing to see dozens of young teen and 20-something boys and 
girls buying discrete electronic components.

RP Electronics still exist: they've moved from the West 4th Ave location 
in Kitsilano to a mini-mall store-front on Rupert, just south of the 
BNSF/CN railway tracks and across from Real Canadian Superstore.


It's been a while since I visited, but they had become a 
computer-geekish bits n' pieces store.  I was after covered wire with a 
specific colour for use as a simple antenna that matched my building's

The other amateur/SW-friendly places... one down deep on Victoria Drive

Re: [IRCA] RadioShack Has Essentially Shut All Its Stores

[Sylvain Naud]

The Source became some kind of a "Bell Store" since the franchise was 
bought by Bell in Canada. Just to mention, our store has been a Radio 
Shack Dealer since the 80's. The business was good with that provider 
until the brand became property of Bell.


At contact renewal, we were forced to get rid of the competition 
regarding Cellular and TV providers we were used to deal with to 
ultimately, sell exclusively Bell products.


That rang the end of a long partnership for us and for other associated 
dealers.

They did not shift with the culture - and try bold initiatives -

Pity actually because there market for electronics DIY and leading edge
gadget culture is still
very much still with us -

Now we geeks shop at Digikey and Mouser and Newark -- which I guess would
not necessarily
support bricks and mortar in the smaller towns.

Re: [IRCA] RadioShack Has Essentially Shut All Its Stores

[Russ Edmunds]

Two within about 20 miles of here closed last week. Two others remain (
King of Prussia Mall and Doylestown PA ), however these will be closing
within 2-3 months.

Before the closest one left closed, I was able to purchase some cables,
adapters, and other items at 80-90% off.

I probably don't have anything else I could need to visit one of the
remaining stores during the last couple of weeks, although I'll probably do
so just in case I see something I hadn't thought about.

My Radio Shack DX150B - purchased on November 3rd, 1973 -- unlike the
