Found this video today. My folks got me a similar project toy back in the mid-80s and I used it a lot. THere were some projects I never got around to doing but it was great. Mom and Dad leaned heavy on Radio Shack for toys at times. I need to hunt down a ShackWave one of these days.

RadioShack Used to Sell Kids This Madness

Working thru a backlog of projects. This old turntable needed a new belt which arrived and installed no issues. I’m getting no audio. The cartridge coils test open.

(I miss #RadioShack but at least I've got #digikey & #mouser - just wish they had a local #wholesale storefront lol. That would be a sight.)

I just got a great ruler … or rather “print viewer”. Makes it much easier to *sift* data that came off a line printer when you didn’t have paper with alternating green and white bars. #trs80 #tandy #radioshack

PROTECTING THE RIGHT TO REPAIR

The first computer in my house was a Tandy 1000. It was made by RadioShack and it was the coolest thing I had ever seen. Sure, it was not much to look at with its light brown plastic case and monochrome screen. I am pretty sure my calculator from middle school has more processing power. The laptop I am typing on right now is basically a supercomputer when put up against that Tandy, but it […]

Sometimes you find stuff inside other stuff. And it's cool stuff! 😄

Alas I cannot deal with yet another retro computing deep dive so I'll sell this one on Kleinanzeigen. 🤷
