Re: Radio Shack: A Penis In America's Ass Which Should Be Filleted Into An Artificial Cunnus


Much as I malign RS, I hate to see them go because there's nobody else that carries even the meagre selection of electronic hobbyist tools and supplies I hate paying $15 shipping every time I need a $0.07 resistor.


For resistors and such, well, I have what ham radio people have called a "junk box". Basically circuit boards and such from electronics that died or otherwise became useless. For the stuff that died, odds are that the part you scrounge from it isn't what killed it, and if it's a simple part (resistor, capacitor and such) is easily tested once you removed it off the board for re-use elsewhere. No, I don't do repair work for pay, this is strictly for hobby stuff. Of course this requires some space to store this crap, but that's what basements and attics are for....
