Now where will I buy my resistors and capacitors? ... Frys Fry's has a pitiful selection of everything, the shelves are organized by morons, and their prices are too high. Try Digi-Key or Mouser. It is worth the shipping delay.

RE:”
I just re-wired my living room stereo gear on Saturday night. The front speakers are the one’s I purchased from Radio Shack for $88 each. They are Pioneer speakers under a Radio Shack label. Still good after over 40 years. They were purchased with money earned working at Farrell's Ice Cream Parlor during my senior year in high school. “ That was the name, Pioneer. I couldn't remember its so long ago.
My Speakers lasted ~ 21 years and then one stopped working and so I replaced them both with the three speaker Bose system which are pretty darn good and take up much less room,

FWIW, Radio Shack is pretty much responsible for both of my sons ending up as Engineers.

I have a bluetooth speaker that fills my room with beautiful sound and can fit in my pocket. It cost about $125 but worth every penny.

Steering starships? Cooool!
That photo I posted is a Japanese wavac HE-833 mono amplifier for high-end stereo systems - so you need 2 for a stereo system. My company introduced the brand to the US market with the top model retailing at $350k - photo below.

My uncle, who was only a year older than I got into RS when it was Tandy Leatherworks. For a company that has focused on DIY stuff, there was no comparison!

Radio Shack is pretty much responsible for both of my sons ending up as Engineers. I bought components there in my youth as well, but changed my sources once I learned where to get them. Allied Radio, which eventually bought Radio Shack, became my primary source of components. They made "Knight Kits" which soon became non-existent once Radio Shack took over Allied's hobby lines. Component prices soared very high, quality collapsed, and selection became poor under Radio Shack. By 1969 it was better to order components from other suppliers.
I think upon closer inspection you would agree that your sons are largely responsible for themselves becoming engineers.
