[Boatanchors] Int'l Crystal Closing their doors in May

[w5jo at brightok.net]

That is true Pete, but I did business with ICM back a few years ago and went 
to their web site to pull the phone number.

That was about 8 - 10 years back and that logo was not there.  Maybe in the 
first bankruptcy the new owner of the RS name  began to do business with 
them.  I believe Sprint was the purchaser of some of the stores but am not 
clear on that point.  At any rate the appearance of that logo was recent and 
I cannot imagine RS needing crystals or any product the ICM produced.

However, it is possible that they did start supplying RS with a bunch of 
supplies after the first bankruptcy and when they filed recently, that put 
the squeeze on ICM.

Under the Radio Shack line, it says "proud supplier to Radio Shack".
Once upon a time, when there were lots a crystal controlled scanners, ICM
probably supplied radio shack customers with crystals for specific
frequencies.
