Ride TheoryCleaned up my late grandma's 1970s <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/RadioShack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RadioShack</a> Archer Road Patrol <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/radio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#radio</a>. Originally my dad's radio for his bicycle -- it has a little threaded mounting hole at the bottom, though there's no mounting hardware anymore.He gave it to his mom so she could listen to her Padres games -- it was set to the station, so all she had to do was turn it on.There's not really much to listen to on AM these days. I may gut it and install the gubbins from a BT speaker.

Stefaan Henninck 🕹️🎥🍿🍺As a kid, my dad bought me the <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/RadioShack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RadioShack</a> Armatron, a robot arm controlled with 2 joysticks, from Tandy. Sadly it was thrown out when making room for other stuff when I became an adult. That is why I'm proud, at 53, to announce I want to relive my youth and I ordered the <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Velleman" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Velleman</a> KS10 with USB interface to a computer. Dangerous combination: a kid's mind in an adult body with access to a <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/VISA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VISA</a> card 😂

Nathan HubbardA rare sight: An operating Radio Shack (in Nashville, Illinois). And it’s currently open! <a href="https://macaw.social/tags/radioshack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#radioshack</a>

FulanoAhora en el almacén <a href="https://mastodon.cr/tags/Monge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Monge</a> Estaba con ganas de comprar un artículo electrónico que andaba en unos 25 000¢. En la caja me preguntan por mi número de céldula de identitad. Dije yo: Prefiero no darlo. La cajera se quedó sorprendida y dijo que había que darlo en todos lados para hacer una compra así. Insistí y dije que no sabía si iban a vender mis datos, cosa que hoy día no era tan inusual y que no sabía que hacían con esto. Ella y su jefe insistieron también que este dato hacía falta para poder darme la factura y por ende la garantía. Después de todo me fui sin la compra y conseguí el artículo en <a href="https://mastodon.cr/tags/Radioshack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Radioshack</a> sin tener que dar mi número de cédula.Qué opinan ustedes? Qué es el procentaje de <a href="https://mastodon.cr/tags/Ticos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ticos</a> que daría su número? Es que he notado que aquí ya se educan a dar el número de cédula en cualquier ocasión (innecesaria) desde pequeño.<a href="https://mastodon.cr/tags/proteccion_de_datos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#proteccion_de_datos</a> <a href="https://mastodon.cr/tags/CostaRica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CostaRica</a>

Francois DionAs the dust settles on my <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/jamuary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#jamuary</a> 21 getting cleared, I had also done a track for the 23rd. I was designing a sound and for some reason it brought some memories of the theme for Knight Rider. Then I started thinking about other <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/tv" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tv</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/shows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#shows</a> of the <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/80s" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#80s</a> and decided to continue with that vibe.

AlannaFound these among my books in the storage unit. I used to read these in fascination when I was 8-14 years old. Probably bought at Tandy in Birmingham or Bedford in England by my Dad and I "nicked" them (probably with strong encouragement) after he read them! 🤣<a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#electronics</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/tandy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tandy</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/radioshack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#radioshack</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/archer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#archer</a>

TomI'm all set for EDM right? 😁 I had the old pioneer apart because it had (or I thought) flaky speaker crackling so I was checking for cold solder joints, which it had none.
