In terms of this post and Radioshack Lowes…Radio Shack a number of you probably believe the store has been chosen years after all the business declared personal bankruptcy in 2015 and closed most company-owned shops a few years later on the key word there is company-owned shops dealer shops that were owned by independent business owners remained open among them occurred to be within a half and an hour drive at my location new holland pennsylvania amish nation here’s some shots of the beyond the radio shack what i really loved is how the structure kind of resembled a real shack here’s the within the radio shack it looks precisely as i remember basically any type of electronic or device can think of this shop probably 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 infamous antenna i inform individuals not to buy however they buy it anyway for those of you who are not aware of what i think of this model here is a brief clip this design it’s junk junk
What happened to RadioShack? Radioshack Lowes
scrap this piece of junk [Music] the design was actually set up outdoors and hooked into a tv set i went through the channels and just as i anticipated it was not getting the abc affiliate whtm which relays on the vhf band this antenna design is known to not carry out well for vhf what’s so ironic lags the structures were some truly good older antenna designs despite my criticism of this antenna design i can comprehend why the owners decide to offer and display it it’s smaller sized and more consumer friendly the average person does not want a big antenna on their roofing system regardless of the much better efficiency or in this case acquiring the harrisburg abc affiliate the next style over had two-way radios and some diodes the next design had pretty much any kind of av cable television and adapter imaginable this used to be my preferred section due to the fact that i’m also a wedding videographer and lot of times i would go to a wedding and forget a specific audio cable required for the microphone throughout the ceremony and there ‘d constantly be a radio shack nearby i could stop at sadly that’s no longer the case another aisle included fuses battery ports and a bunch of wires here’s a wall of transistors and would you believe devices for mounting an outside antenna installing brackets amplifiers and even a rotator as i continued down the exact same wall there were video cable televisions and accessories some walkie-talkies phone wires phones themselves and smart device accessories including this actually cool bluetooth cassette adapter it can’t be a radio shack without radios look at all of them designs in the middle of the shop had car stereo devices speaker wire ethernet cable televisions computer cable televisions blank media and whoa blank cassette tapes at this radio shack i can actually purchase a cassette deck record onto a blank cassette and if the heads get filthy
