In terms of this post and Vintage Radioshack Tweeters…Radio Shack a number of you probably believe the store has been chosen years after all the business filed for insolvency in 2015 and closed most company-owned stores a few years later the keyword there is company-owned stores dealership shops that were owned by independent company owner remained open among them occurred to be within a half and an hour drive at my area brand-new holland pennsylvania amish nation here’s some shots of the beyond the radio shack what i actually enjoyed is how the building sort of looked like a real shack here’s the within the radio shack it looks precisely as i keep in mind practically any kind of electronic or device can consider this store probably has the very first wall contained a bunch 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 including the notorious antenna i inform individuals not to purchase however they buy it anyway for those of you who are not familiar with what i think about this design here is a short clip this model it’s junk scrap
What happened to RadioShack? Vintage Radioshack Tweeters
scrap this piece of junk [Music] the model was in fact set up outside and hooked into a tv 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 design is understood to not carry out well for vhf what’s so paradoxical lags the structures were some really excellent older antenna models in spite of my criticism of this antenna design i can understand why the owners decide to offer and display it it’s smaller sized and more customer friendly the typical person does not want a huge antenna on their roofing in spite of 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 style had pretty much any kind of av cable and adapter you can possibly imagine this used to be my favorite section because i’m also a wedding videographer and sometimes i would go to a wedding event and forget a particular audio cable television needed for the microphone during the ceremony and there ‘d always be a radio shack neighboring i could stop at sadly that’s no longer the case another aisle featured fuses battery ports 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 very same wall there were video cable televisions and devices some walkie-talkies phone wires phones themselves and smart device 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 shop had vehicle stereo devices speaker wire ethernet cable televisions computer cable televisions 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 filthy
