In the box was a pair of Radio Shack Science Fair Kits. WoW A large part of my childhood's past came flooding back! When I was a young person Radio Shack was one of the top eletronics Stores in the nation. The Shack had a large array of kits geared to get young people into electronics.


Well back at the Estate sale, We find Tim and myself grinning from ear to ear. I could feel the hand starting to grip the box very tight now. What this means is , The price on a item could be .04 to $400.00 it makes no never mind. I was going to buy the item. done!


After giving the rest of the sale a half assed look I was off to pay for my new goody! Tim and I jumped up into the pickup and slammed the doors. The box had been plopped on the center console and like kids at a party the box was torn to shreds, more like a small animal that had been fellen by a pack of hungry wolfs. You had to be there.

My hand had retrived the Shack's VHF reciever. "show in the photos" A wave of memories came back to me. I had gotten this as a gift on my "well I dont know how old I was "birthday.
