Rat Shack fire sale

About 4 months ago I went looking for 50' of RG6, they only had 25' lengths. Wound up getting it at Best Buy across the street. Rat shack used to be good for TV, Phone,audio stuff and a free battery, not anymore.

Those are all overpriced even at 90% off.

Tell us more about the old days, Pops! You ever meet Abraham Lincoln?

If they have the nice Vidmar cabinets to hold the parts, buy those.

I was thinking about that, they have a big rolling metal cabinet, it's really nice but gigantic. Not sure exactly where I'd find space for it at the moment.

Well, I'll see what they want for it on the last day.

This soldering iron is pretty darn nice for $40!

I wonder what I'll do with these molly-guard switches; build my own launch vehicle or something. I already have a buyer lined up for a bunch of the automotive toggle-types.

$8 for this bad boy. Gonna crimp me some coax!

I have a big Vidmar cabinet in my lab that I bought retail in 2009ish, and have been very happy with it. If you can get a full sized one (5 feet high or thereabouts) for a few hundred bucks, that's a good deal. They're getting on for $2k new nowadays, I hear.

Nice! This store had a lot of parts relative to most Shacks these days; their component cabinet system looked to be like 4 of these units: 2x2 back to back:

that one only crimps in 1 dimension hence the pirce. youget what you pay

Their educational kits were always superb, especially the physics based ones. But they were marking those down to peanuts 15 years ago so I guess they dropped them altogether.
