  1. On this day in history, August 3, 1977, RadioShack (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RadioSha) introduced the TRS-80, one of the world's first mass-marketed home computers that ignited the personal computer revolution. #history #radioshack #computers

  2. I saw this at an antique store the other day... a Radio Shack crystal radio kit, with what appears to be a drawing of The Jam on the box. (Definitely looks like Bruce Foxton on bass!) I think I might have had one of these sets, but I don't think mine came in this box!

  3. 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. Safe to assume the cartridge is toast? I think I paid $5 for this years ago at a garage sale and only because it’s Realistic gear which I am overly fond of. #realistic #vintageaudio #radioshack #ElectronicsRepair

  4. Are there any experts on the Tandy Radio Shack Model 100 who would like to connect?

    I USA slutade jag handla på #RadioShack ganska snart efter jag flyttade dit i slutet av 80-talet, för de frågade alltid om telefonnummer. Och det var innan vi hade SMS. "No, thank you."

  6. 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.

    Heh, I remember Service Merchandise, although it wasn't my favorite.
    I think my favorite was BEST, but earlier, Toys'R'Us, because they always had an epic computer section. ;)
    Also, I seem to recall the Dillards in Austin had cool toys and robots and stuff.

    Also, who could forget #RadioShack. 😥

  8. “The 80s Called” RadioShack’s 2014 Super Bowl spot “brought out icons like Hulk Hogan, ALF, and Chucky, storming a dusty old store to reclaim their era, all set to Loverboy’s “Working for the Weekend.”

  9. #AmateurRadio #CW #MorseCode #HamRadio

    I learned by listening to the #GordonWest cassette series from #RadioShack. When I took my tests, I think the license I got was called Tech Plus, or something like that.

    I passed the 5wpm test, and they talked me into taking the 13wpm test. Somehow, I passed it, so at least I didn't have to take another code test for a while.

    I never really could do #CW until I got on the air. There was a #Novice portion of #40m, and I hung out there, and it all worked
