I miss having knowing there’s a Radio Shack around the corner if I need an obscure component or an exotic battery for a project.
Yeah, you can find anything online now, but you have to wait for it to ship, hope it doesn’t get lost or stolen, and hope they actually sent the right part.
Edit to add: Basically 80-90s RS, not the husk that it was more recently that sold mostly phones and crap toys around the holidays.
