Oooh, ran into the manager of apparently the last Radio Shack in California (which is run by a ham radio operator, and all the employees are hams). It's in San Luis Obispo. Sounds like it's worth the trip and a stop if you ever are going through that area...

Remember when hi-fi was kind of a big deal? Hinterlandia remembers.
"Mail-order stereo sounds at first like a legalized form of the old traveling medicine show; I mean, for many people a sound system is going to be the third most expensive item they’ll purchase in their lifetimes (after a house and a car) and is not the sort of purchase to be made sight unseen (or more to the point, hearing unheard). Still, if your alternatives are severely limited by geography, mail order is all that’s left to you, and the unquestioned leader in mail order is Warehouse Sound of San Luis Obispo, California."

in reply to deewani • •I went to that website and discovered that Radio Shack was acquired by a global marketing group in El Salvador, so here's your advanced warning about tariff trouble, possibly. Since they're also providing jail service to Trump, could be they're exempt...for now...
