1990 Radio Shack catalog

I simply miss being able to go the local Shack for basic electrical components/parts.  And not just them, the three or four independent electronic parts businesses that used to operate in the Chicago area.

I'm surprised that there are no cd players advertised. Unless I'm blind and didn't see any.

I still am using my SA-2001 stereo amplifier in my office. I purchased in 1978 for college. 

Yeah back in the 80s there stuff look good and they had receivers that put out way over 100 wpc at crazy good prices.
