Back in the day, I did most of my own automotive work and repaired things like TV's. Things like tubes, capacitors, resistors were standardized enough so that consumers could keep things going for a reasonable cost if they were willing to put the effort in. Too much "black box" stuff these days. Congress is doing us dirt.
Yeah, this is why Radio Shack is dying. Back in the 80s we lived in Radio Shack. My dad was always making us help him fix something and he made us learn those stupid color codes for resisters etc.
They still have a web page but I couldn't find a store finder thingy. They did have a link to become an affiliate... shrug. They only one I knew of still around in Tucker GA is gone. At least I'm pretty sure its gone and has been for a long time.

Are there Radio Shack stores anywhere anymore?
