Some of the Radio Shack stores in the US are closing and one near me is currently at 60% off.  Check out all this shit I got for $140!

OMG! Be careful with that EXPLOSIVE SOUND device. You might hurt yourself.

AHAHA! I'm going to be gutting these old radios and putting a Pi and these speakers in them, I figured for $9/each I could gamble that they would work!

I'm glad you are here to look out for my well being!

Someone's got to look out for you. You're dangerous, falling odd rooves, electrocuting yourself on relays (or was that Ant? I predicted you would), blowing yourself up with BOMB SPEAKERS.

Cool, vintage speakers with moderns.

Ken - please DO NOT gut those old radios. I'd much rather you sell them to me as they are. I am writing the cheque now.

I don't think any of them work, I know for sure that one is partially gutted already.

The great thing about people losing their jobs is that there are bargains to be had! :|

You can have the guts of all of them if you'd like?

Nah, I've never seen Uno's or Micro's for $14.  I didn't buy stuff just to do it, if it was a deal and I needed it or might then I bought it.  Don't try to rain on my parade Mr.  I have the Feds on speed dial!

I'm actually surprised they're still around at all. Ours closed years ago. Now there are phone stores all over the place.

Really? I can get an uno compatible board for <$5, and a proper looking fake one for not much more.

Well this are official boards so that might be why.  They were marked $35/each and that's been my experience at RS when looking at them, in the past I've only bought online because like you say they are cheaper.

Well if you want them PM me your address and I'll send them to you.  The guts come out in one piece so they are intact.  I have no idea if they work though.
