Radio Shack products are basically low to mid-end products
and they are generally pretty good compared to other
products of that type, however what they are is over-priced.
 
I read a recent article in Wallstreet Journal that stated
that Radio Shack Policy is to make 50% profit on everything
they sell. That is why their top end of any given line never
goes on sale until they phase it out.
 
If you're on a tight budget, and only buy their stuff when
it goes on sale, you'll do pretty good. One thing they do 
WELL is product support. I was recently able to reoutfit a
friend's 1978 minisette-7 tape-recorder/radio with new belts,
pinch-roller, speaker and a motor. The parts were cheap, and
I got every-one in about 10 days. not bad.

ned.
