	Well, I am not an expert in any respect, but Dick Smith
	Electronics may be austrailian based, but there is a big
	store in my hometown of Greenwood, Indiana (little bit
	South of Indianapolis) that used to say Dick Smith Electronics
	on the outside of the building.  Over the years, it changed
	to American Electronics and whereas they have pretty much
	phased out their kits, and electronic pieceware (surplus), they
	sell A LOT of Kenwood stereo/amatuer radio stuff now and LOTS
	of old used equipment..real cheap.  It's an okay place to spend
	a few hours looking through old spare parts and surplus, but
	once you buy it, don't expect help or any more like what you 
	bought.  I guess the moral to this story is :  See also
	American Electronics.  If anyone has comments, feel free to
	post them or email me.
		P.S.  I like the place, because I like to tinker
	with electronics, but they are pretty much phasing it all
	out and going to the bigger stuff, I guess it probably
	generates more income.
