After being disappointed past few years I have decided to try to use Radio Shack again for some stuff. So in past week went in on 2 occasions to make a purchase and I have been suprised by A them having what I need and good service. I hope its a sign that they are finally realizing Cell Phones are on every street corner.
 

I live in a small town, and our Radio Shack has a surprisingly knowledgeable staff. I think the key here is that it's not a corporate store, rather an independently owned "Radio Shack Dealer". While the store still emphasizes on cell phones, televisions, and end consumer products, they do have a good selection of hobby equipment and parts. There is one gentleman (I'm guessing the owner) that is always ready to answer questions about a project on which I am working.

I guess if you live in an area with a locally owned store, count yourself lucky, because the owner obviously has an interest in the products.

It's good to hear that maybe the stores corporate-wide may be returning to their roots.

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
