Treasure trove!

Thanx for the link. Here's another one for Radio Shack Catalogs:

Radio Shack Catalogs from 1939 on up

That's a nice reference. I have original paper copies :-)

I ordered the Allied Radio catalog in 1966. It was full of interesting stuff and I had yet to see a Radio Shack store. By 1969, Radio Shack had acquired Allied Radio. The new Allied-Radio Shack catalogs became an annual treasure. The place became less "nerdy" when Tandy acquired the company. More consumer electronics and fewer parts and kits.
