In terms of this post and Radioshack Murrells Inkltet…Radio Shack many of you most likely believe the shop has actually been gone for years after all the company declared bankruptcy in 2015 and closed most company-owned shops a couple of years later on 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 place brand-new holland pennsylvania amish nation here’s some shots of the outside of the radio shack what i truly enjoyed is how the building type of looked like a real shack here’s the inside of the radio shack it looks precisely as i remember basically any sort of electronic or accessory can think of this store most likely has the first wall consisted of a bunch of cb radios and antennas the wall behind the counter held batteries and chargers as some of you probably remember to the right of the counter was a wall with some antennas featuring the infamous antenna i tell people not to buy but they buy it anyhow for those of you who are not familiar with what i think about this design here is a brief clip this model it’s scrap scrap
What happened to RadioShack? Radioshack Murrells Inkltet
junk this piece of junk [Music] the model was really set up outside and hooked into a television set i went through the channels and just as i anticipated it was not picking up the abc affiliate whtm which broadcasts on the vhf band this antenna model is known to not perform well for vhf what’s so paradoxical lags the structures were some truly excellent older antenna designs regardless of my criticism of this antenna design i can comprehend why the owners choose to offer and show it it’s smaller sized and more consumer friendly the average person doesn’t want a big antenna on their roofing in spite of the much better efficiency or in this case getting the harrisburg abc affiliate the next style over had two-way radios and some diodes the next design had practically any type of av cable and adapter possible this used to be my preferred section since i’m also a wedding videographer and sometimes i would go to a wedding event and forget a specific audio cable needed for the microphone throughout the event and there ‘d always be a radio shack nearby i could stop at sadly that’s no longer the case another aisle featured merges battery connectors and a lot of wires here’s a wall of transistors and would you think accessories for installing an outside antenna installing brackets amplifiers and even a rotator as i continued down the very same wall there were video cable televisions and accessories some walkie-talkies phone wires phones themselves and mobile phone accessories including this actually cool bluetooth cassette adapter it can’t be a radio shack without radios look at all of them styles in the middle of the store had automobile stereo accessories speaker wire ethernet cables computer 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 filthy
