Lafayette, a large chain and catalog store, did go out of business years ago.
They had one of the best consumer and experimenter parts
availabilities anywhere. Radio Shack is no comparison. The
Lafayette chain stores, however, were similar to Radio Shacks, and
carried few parts.
PS: I think I still have one vari-loopstick at home.
