    Who remembers when Radio Shack carried actual radio components?

    I don’t, but grew up hearing the tales.

      I remember growing up and hitting the radio shack components section. Bought new motors for a remote control car, modded it to fit with super glue and twisted/electrical taped a stronger battery on it.

      It worked great for like 5 min before the magic smoke came out 🤣

      Edit: I think I was 8-10 years old

      Even when they were an RC car store they still had that one area in the back that none of the salespeople knew about. It didnt actually get removed until it turned into a phone store
