IF I remember correctly Radio Shack in the 50's sold amature radio 
and other small electronics and parts. It was bought up by Tandy. 
Then sold to Allied and the reaquired by Tandy. Or at least Tandy 
bought the Radio Shack name back from Allied. I also know that 
Tandy bought the Memorex brand name. 

Heathkit was bought by Schlumberger(sp?) and they ran Heathkit 
into the ground.
