The Radio Shack of the past

In 2006, Radio Shack announced that the company would no longer sell amateur radio gear.

But back in 1930's the 'shack' was one of the prime mail order suppliers of ham radio gear and accessories.

Now an animated 1939 Radio Shack catalogue is on-line for you to browse.

You can find it at www.radioshackcatalogs.com/catalogs/1939

You turn pages by the use of the cursor. Just click on the lower right corner of the page, move it to the left.

Thanks to ARNewsline, QCWA for spotting this gem
