In terms of this post and Radioshack Rds…Radio Shack many of you most likely believe the shop has actually been chosen years after all the business filed for bankruptcy in 2015 and closed most company-owned shops a few years later on the key word there is company-owned shops dealer stores that were owned by independent company owner remained open among them took place to be within an hour and a half drive at my place new holland pennsylvania amish nation here’s some shots of the outside of the radio shack what i actually liked is how the building type of resembled a real shack here’s the within the radio shack it looks precisely as i keep in mind basically any type of electronic or accessory can think of this store probably has the first wall included a lot of cb radios and antennas the wall behind the counter held batteries and battery chargers as some of you most likely keep in mind to the right of the counter was a wall with some antennas featuring the notorious antenna i tell people not to buy but they buy it anyhow for those of you who are not aware of what i think of this design here is a brief clip this model it’s scrap scrap

junk this piece of junk [Music] the design was really installed outside and hooked into a television set i went through the channels and just as i anticipated it was not getting 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 buildings were some truly great older antenna designs 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 customer friendly the average individual does not desire a big antenna on their roof despite the better efficiency or in this case getting the harrisburg abc affiliate the next style over had walkie-talkies and some diodes the next design had basically any type of av cable television and adapter you can possibly imagine this utilized to be my favorite area because i’m also a wedding event videographer and lot of times i would go to a wedding and forget a specific audio cable television required for the microphone during the ceremony and there ‘d constantly be a radio shack neighboring i might stop at sadly that’s no longer the case another aisle featured fuses battery adapters and a lot of wires here’s a wall of transistors and would you believe accessories for installing an outside antenna mounting brackets amplifiers and even a rotator as i continued down the very same wall there were video cable televisions and accessories some two-way radios phone wires phones themselves and mobile phone accessories including this really cool bluetooth cassette adapter it can’t be a radio shack without radios take a look at all of them designs in the middle of the store had vehicle stereo accessories speaker wire ethernet cable televisions 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 dirty
