I never found Radio Shack to sell anything that one could ever do useful
things with for projects as they never seemed to have any thing in stock.
The real DIY is hi-fi audio with good old tubes is making a comeback but
don't expect to find it here. I consider Radio Shack just any low end
electronics store, that sells a few cables, connectors and a odd part.
