In terms of this post and Radioshack Returns…Radio Shack much 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 stores a few years later on the keyword there is company-owned shops dealer stores that were owned by independent company owner stayed open one of them happened to be within an hour and a half drive at my location brand-new holland pennsylvania amish country here’s some shots of the outside of the radio shack what i actually loved is how the building kind of resembled an actual shack here’s the within the radio shack it looks exactly as i remember pretty much any type of electronic or device can consider this store most likely has the very first wall included a lot of cb radios and antennas the wall behind the counter held batteries and chargers as a few of you most likely keep in mind to the right of the counter was a wall with some antennas featuring the infamous antenna i inform people not to purchase 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 Returns
junk this piece of junk [Music] the model was actually installed outdoors and hooked into a tv set i went through the channels and just as i anticipated it was not picking up the abc affiliate whtm which transmits on the vhf band this antenna model is understood to not perform well for vhf what’s so paradoxical lags the structures were some actually great older antenna models in spite of my criticism of this antenna model i can understand why the owners choose to sell and display it it’s smaller and more consumer friendly the average person does not desire a huge antenna on their roofing despite the better efficiency 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 imaginable this used to be my preferred section due to the fact that i’m also a wedding videographer and many times i would go to a wedding event and forget a particular audio cable television required for the microphone during the ceremony and there ‘d always be a radio shack neighboring i could stop at unfortunately that’s no longer the case another aisle featured merges battery ports and a bunch of wires here’s a wall of transistors and would you believe devices for mounting an outside antenna mounting 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 smartphone devices including this truly 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 vehicle stereo accessories speaker wire ethernet cable televisions computer system 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
