  Radio Shack's sad decline has been long in coming. As with Allied, 
Burstein-Applebee, Lafayette and many others before it, Radio Shack's 
glory days have all but faded into 'what was'. As an analog experimenter 
I miss sizable parts with leads, fire bottles, high voltage, heavy 
transformers, big illuminated dials, aluminum Bud boxes, Air-Dux coils 
and ladder line antennas. Those were fun times that no amount of teeny 
tiny surface mount components or digital chips can hold a candle to, at 
least in my nostalgic memory.
