[Coco] Tough news for Radio Shack - out of business in a year?

[Jim Hickle]

I bought parts there in the '70's when  I was hand-wiring tube amps.  i 
didn't get everything there though.  A lot of components (especially 
power transformers) came from TV's I found in garbage dumps.

Now they have Arduino and Raspberry Pi and nobody else around here does.
I haven't bought one though.  I have, however started a new hobby. 
I'm...hand-wiring tube amps.
