Another for Digikey, the first time I ordered from them was to repair a tv, a bad capacitor. TV still works 7 years later.

Anyone here into HAM radio? I just ordered the ARRL book so I can get my beginners license.

There are 15 or more Radio Shacks in Michigan.
I used one just last year for caps for my clock fix in the 78SC The store was much smaller with mostly small board components. (no radios, phones, antennae, or stuff like that)

Memories.
I had my licenses, Ham and commercial in the 70's until I dove into computers early 80's. Wish I hadn't let them expire in college instead of renewing. Used to have to travel to a regional FCC office for the tests, I took them in NYC, Varick street. Then a trip to canal street, when it used to be surplus electronics and ham equipment stores.
