Radio Shack.
Yeah ,, but they’re still open. How, I have no idea! Non of their big ticket items are competitive in price. All of their mid-range items are cheaply made (worse than very inexpensive throw-away stuff from a Wal Mart, lets say).
The only thing they have going for them (imho) is you can get small parts for things, and at a couple of bucks per part I don’t know how they survive
