waltmanDrownedTurkey: did all that rain wash away your mutant powers?15:42
ChinnoDogRadio shack is an expensive place to buy consumer electronics and has such a limited parts collection. I don't know why anyone goes there anymore.15:42

waltmanThere aren't many real bricks and mortar electronics stores these days.16:03
InHisNameChinnoDog: I liked a place in Winter Park Fla called -- Skycraft Electronics.  Above their building was a 'flying saucer' rotating at a tilt on a pole.   They sold surplus, used, and new electronics parts and equipment.  Like many other B&M places, they're probably gone too, now.   -- I think there was a place here like that,but the guy died back in the '90s and whole place got auctioned away.19:54
