In terms of this post and San Diego Radioshack…Radio Shack many of you probably think the store has actually been chosen years after all the business applied for bankruptcy in 2015 and closed most company-owned stores a few years later the key word there is company-owned shops dealer shops that were owned by independent business owners remained open among them took place to be within an hour and a half drive at my area brand-new holland pennsylvania amish nation here’s some shots of the beyond the radio shack what i actually loved is how the building sort of resembled an actual shack here’s the within the radio shack it looks exactly as i remember basically any sort of electronic or accessory can think about this shop probably has the very first wall contained a lot of cb radios and antennas the wall behind the counter held batteries and chargers as some of you most likely remember 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 anyway for those of you who are not familiar with what i consider this design here is a brief clip this model it’s scrap junk
What happened to RadioShack? San Diego Radioshack
scrap this piece of junk [Music] the design was actually set up outside 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 broadcasts on the vhf band this antenna design is known to not perform well for vhf what’s so ironic is behind the buildings were some actually good older antenna models regardless of my criticism of this antenna design i can comprehend why the owners decide to offer and show it it’s smaller and more consumer friendly the average person does not desire a big antenna on their roof 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 design had pretty much any type of av cable and adapter you can possibly imagine this utilized to be my preferred section because i’m also a wedding event videographer and sometimes i would go to a wedding and forget a particular audio cable needed for the microphone during the ceremony and there ‘d constantly be a radio shack nearby 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 devices for installing an outside antenna installing brackets amplifiers and even a rotator as i continued down the same wall there were video cable televisions and accessories some walkie-talkies phone wires phones themselves and smart device 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 cars and truck stereo devices speaker wire ethernet cables computer system cables blank media and whoa blank cassette tapes at this radio shack i can actually purchase a cassette deck record onto a blank cassette and if the heads get unclean
