In terms of this post and Radioshack Fargo. Pothead…Radio Shack a lot of you probably believe the shop has been opted for years after all the company filed for bankruptcy in 2015 and closed most company-owned stores a couple of years later the key word there is company-owned shops dealer stores that were owned by independent business owners remained open among them took place to be within an hour and a half drive at my area new holland pennsylvania amish country here’s some shots of the beyond the radio shack what i actually liked is how the building sort of looked like a real shack here’s the within the radio shack it looks precisely as i keep in mind practically any sort of electronic or device can think about this shop most likely has the first wall contained a lot of cb radios and antennas the wall behind the counter held batteries and battery chargers as a few of you most likely remember to the right of the counter was a wall with some antennas including the notorious antenna i tell people not to purchase however they buy it anyway for those of you who are not knowledgeable about what i consider this model here is a short clip this model it’s scrap scrap
What happened to RadioShack? Radioshack Fargo. Pothead
junk this piece of junk [Music] the model was really installed outdoors and hooked into a television set i went through the channels and just as i expected it was not getting the abc affiliate whtm which broadcasts on the vhf band this antenna design is understood to not perform well for vhf what’s so paradoxical is behind the structures were some truly great older antenna models regardless of my criticism of this antenna design i can comprehend why the owners decide to sell and display it it’s smaller sized and more consumer friendly the typical individual does not want a huge antenna on their roofing system in spite of the much better performance or in this case gaining the harrisburg abc affiliate the next style over had two-way radios and some diodes the next style had pretty much any type of av cable television and adapter possible this used to be my favorite section since i’m likewise a wedding videographer and sometimes i would go to a wedding and forget a particular audio cable required for the microphone throughout the ceremony and there ‘d always be a radio shack close-by i could stop at unfortunately that’s no longer the case another aisle included merges battery adapters and a bunch of wires here’s a wall of transistors and would you believe devices for mounting an outdoor antenna installing brackets amplifiers and even a rotator as i continued down the same wall there were video cable televisions and devices some walkie-talkies phone wires phones themselves and smart device accessories including this really cool bluetooth cassette adapter it can’t be a radio shack without radios look at all of them styles in the middle of the shop had automobile stereo accessories speaker wire ethernet cables computer cable televisions blank media and whoa blank cassette tapes at this radio shack i can literally buy a cassette deck record onto a blank cassette and if the heads get unclean
