In terms of this post and Radioshack Mas Ave…Radio Shack many of you most likely think the shop has actually been gone for years after all the business declared insolvency in 2015 and closed most company-owned stores a couple of years later on the key word there is company-owned stores dealer shops that were owned by independent business owners remained open one of them took place to be within a half and an hour drive at my area new holland pennsylvania amish nation here’s some shots of the beyond the radio shack what i truly liked is how the building kind of resembled a real shack here’s the inside of the radio shack it looks exactly as i remember pretty much any sort of electronic or device can think about this store most likely has the very first wall consisted of a lot of cb radios and antennas the wall behind the counter held batteries and battery chargers as some of you most likely remember to the right of the counter was a wall with some antennas including the notorious antenna i inform people not to buy but they buy it anyhow for those of you who are not knowledgeable about what i think of this design here is a brief clip this model it’s scrap scrap
What happened to RadioShack? Radioshack Mas Ave
scrap this piece of junk [Music] the model was in fact set up 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 relays on the vhf band this antenna model is known to not carry out well for vhf what’s so paradoxical lags the buildings were some truly good older antenna designs despite my criticism of this antenna model i can comprehend why the owners decide to sell and display it it’s smaller sized and more consumer friendly the average individual doesn’t want a huge antenna on their roofing in spite of the much better performance or in this case gaining the harrisburg abc affiliate the next style over had walkie-talkies and some diodes the next style had basically any kind of av cable television and adapter you can possibly imagine this used to be my favorite area because i’m also a wedding event videographer and lot of times i would go to a wedding event and forget a specific audio cable required for the microphone throughout the ceremony and there ‘d constantly be a radio shack neighboring i might stop at regrettably that’s no longer the case another aisle featured merges battery ports and a lot of wires here’s a wall of transistors and would you think devices for installing an outside antenna installing brackets amplifiers and even a rotator as i continued down the same wall there were video cables and accessories some two-way radios 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 devices speaker wire ethernet cable televisions computer system cables blank media and whoa blank cassette tapes at this radio shack i can actually buy a cassette deck record onto a blank cassette and if the heads get dirty
