Where am I going to buy my time-travel remote controls now?

After Bed Bath and Beyond goes.There's a guy who sells cassette player head cleaner sets including the little q-tips. Since Radio Shack those are hard to find. I just about wore out the ball tipped phone dialer pen looking for a dealer.

I really miss Radio Shack.

While there are a few left, none near me.

I miss Fry’s

I wish there were a Microcenter near me.

I needed a couple random 1w resistors and not find anyone who might sell them except online.

There are not even any TV repair people. There were a bunch listed but all disconnected, once I needed a common 6l6 tube, oh not a chance

I can figure out what era you’re from. Can you still dance The Mashed Potato?
