We did  have in the form of Tandy, but they are long gone. 
We do, however,   still have Mc Donalds


Hi All,
 
The local Mc Donald seem to be out of stock on 8 pin mic plugs, though did  
offer a Big Mac as an alternate.
 
The differences between what is available in various countries can be a  
problem. One gets comfortable with what is available in your own country in  terms 
of products and vendors when such things may just not exist in other  
countries.
 
One of the minor problems here in the UK in respect to working on USA  
sourced radios and test equipment is a lack of small bolts and nuts to USA  thread 
standards. Europe and the Far East seem to be standardised on metric  for the 
equipment produced there, which makes life a whole lot easier.
