In terms of this post and Radioshack’s…Radio Shack a lot of you probably think the shop has actually been chosen years after all the business applied for insolvency in 2015 and closed most company-owned shops a couple of years later the keyword there is company-owned shops dealer shops that were owned by independent company owner remained open one of them took place to be within an hour and a half drive at my place brand-new holland pennsylvania amish country here’s some shots of the outside of the radio shack what i really liked is how the structure sort of looked like an actual shack here’s the within the radio shack it looks precisely as i keep in mind pretty much any sort of electronic or device can consider this shop probably has the first wall included a bunch of cb radios and antennas the wall behind the counter held batteries and battery chargers as a few of you probably keep in mind to the right of the counter was a wall with some antennas including the infamous antenna i inform people not to purchase but they buy it anyhow for those of you who are not aware of what i think of this model here is a brief clip this model it’s scrap scrap
What happened to RadioShack? Radioshack’s
junk this piece of junk [Music] the model was actually installed outdoors and hooked into a television set i went through the channels and just as i expected it was not picking up the abc affiliate whtm which transmits on the vhf band this antenna model is known to not carry out well for vhf what’s so ironic is behind the structures were some really great older antenna designs regardless of my criticism of this antenna design i can understand why the owners decide to sell and display it it’s smaller and more consumer friendly the average individual doesn’t want a big antenna on their roofing system despite the much better efficiency or in this case getting the harrisburg abc affiliate the next design over had two-way radios and some diodes the next design had practically any kind of av cable television and adapter possible this utilized to be my preferred 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 needed for the microphone during the ceremony and there ‘d constantly be a radio shack close-by i might stop at regrettably that’s no longer the case another aisle included merges battery adapters and a lot of wires here’s a wall of transistors and would you think accessories for mounting an outside antenna mounting brackets amplifiers and even a rotator as i continued down the exact same wall there were video cables and accessories some walkie-talkies phone wires phones themselves and smartphone accessories including this really 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 accessories speaker wire ethernet cables computer cables blank media and whoa blank cassette tapes at this radio shack i can literally purchase a cassette deck record onto a blank cassette and if the heads get dirty
