Fry's does have a lot of stuff. I dislike being treated like a shop lefter just to exit the store. What the heck am I going to stuff into my bag between the checkout and the door?
I like the local electronic surplus store a lot. All kinds of treasure to be had there.
What’s funny about RS going down is I still have one of their DX-160 shortwave receivers that still works (somewhat) and needs some parts to rebuild it Ian put it back to 100% working condition.
Wouldn’t you know, some 35 years later I can still find about half of the capacitors needed to restore it at my local RS. The rest I’ll likely order online f om a supplier or take a drive to Frys to get the rest.
