[Boatanchors] RS going, going,

[Bob Macklin]

One advantage of Rs is they are open on Sundays when the real parts stores
are closed. And in my case they are closer than the TWO local parts store.

<RS has become mostly an historical footnote anyway, and isn't much more
than
just another cell phone kiosk that also sells batteries .. Oh, and R/C cars
at Christmas.>


At least they still carry a few parts that can be useful for ham radio work.
I was surprised to find #47 bulbs at RS to replace the burned-out dial
lights in my Heathkit Apache.  You'll probably have better luck finding the
stuff yourself than to rely on a sales clerk.
