A blast from Radio Shack's past

I stumbled upon this site today, and I just had to share it. Since I was a kid, I remember going through the Radio Shack catalog and its hundreds of pages of components and electronics. My father kept a huge stack of them in the attic, and going through them was like using a time machine.

Radio Shack Catalogs is an online archive of the store's catalogs. The site, unaffiliated with Radio Shack, has scanned copies of Radio Shack catalogs dating back to 1939, plus specialty catalogs, old commercials, and other interesting pieces of the company's history. If you have any interest of record players, tape recorders, and stereos from the days of yore, these catalogs are an amazing find.
