- 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.
