Still have my STA-90 and all models of their 5W CB walkie-talkies. Will never part with any.

And had those same speakers too. But the speaker paper rotted, they were kinda ugly, so I donated them.

Thanks for the memories guys. Sta-90 receiver, a classic. Many of the Radio Shack receivers were top notch. Some were built off laboratory standards and some of the speakers for the money couldn’t be beat. I still sport a pair of (lifetime) Op nines ( 5-way) from the early 70’s with 12” woofers. Yes, they were lifetime, mine anyways. I worked there while in college. I must of sold a ton of cb radios and phono cartridges. My manager would sometimes con these guys out of their gold Pickering cartridges for a Shure cartridge, lol. Yes, back when we had turntables and audiophiles. A whole era lost to us now. I remember so many Rube Goldberg (Brier Wire) projects I did. Creativity was born standing in that store. They make a little portable 9v motion detector all you should try to scarf up before they close.
