[ARC5] deathwatch for radio shack?

[john rose]

Around 2010 the Shack’s stock traded around $20 to $22. It closed today at 88 cents. Here are links to two articles on Marketwatch.com that tell the story.

I have spent my share of time and money in the last 4 1/2 decades (OMG, I’m getting old!!). I even remember when you went there to buy a radio!! No longer. Many, many moons ago I picked up a couple of BC645s at a swap. The conversion information that came with them was published by, wait for it, Radio Shack of Boston. If the worst does come to pass, at least we might be able to stock up on some parts.
