Damn..., we used to have Radio Shack for a ready source of spares!

In TRUTH..., in a pinch..., I knew USN techies who had to visit a local "Rat Shack" for immediate repair items while they requisitioned MilSpec through channels! It would be their ASSES if something screwed up but..., luckily for them, those 3-5% tolerance components worked until the 1% tolerance MilSpec items arrived "through channels"!

In typical military fashion, the duty OIC just said I don't care what you have to do but get it on line..., I don't want to know how!
