    Im from the States and the moment RadioShack went all in on selling Cell Phones, they died.

    The tech wizards shared ancient stories around the campfire of being able to buy radio parts at RadioShack. I was not of that era.

      It wasn’t even that long ago. I bought tons of discrete parts from RadioShack like, even up to 8 or 9 years ago. They had these drawers full of things, pots, LEDs, ICs, sensors, motors, dials.
