The same old 555 timers, opamps, and LED PCB xmas trees they’ve been selling for 30 years are nice but…there’s much more interesting shit now and they didnt seem to catch on to that until the very end when they suddenly rushed out all the Arduino shit.
Around here, Micro Center replaced Radio Shack for my component impulse buy needs, and they even have Adafruit and Sparkfun stuff, and several aisles of a variety of other hobby electronics stuff. It’s RadioShack x100.
As a kid, it was where you got all the coolest remote controlled cars and helicopters (pre drones). As an electronics tinkerer, they had drawers full of components and other parts for all electronic needs.
RadioShack, and it’s not even close.
Can we do radio shack from the 80s early 90s over the cellphone retailer they turned into before death.
Just before they flatlined, they started stocking more modern hobbyist stuff. Arduinos, shields, Parallax Propeller, and Vex, but stupid expensive.

As someone who tinkers with electronics, hard agree
I was born in 2001, what is RadioShack?
