Can't believe there's noone around here that has any transistor insulators, mica or silicone.
Actually had to place a large order for some on ebay. Now I have to wait for shipping in this season for 3 lousy insulators.
I wish Radio Shack would just plain go out of business already so I'm not taunted at every lack of some obscure electronics item and the vane hope Ratshack would possibly have it. Which, they never do.
Rant
I drive all the way across town because the other went out of business on this side. It's about 8pm, cold and blustery. They are talking at the counter for long lengths of time with customers about cellphones. Then another customer enters and immediately he gets talked to because he's looking at cell phones.
Finally I get a teen clerk (I came prepared with a transistor in pocket to show him) that doesn't know what a transistor insulator is. Says he doesn't think they have it but he'll look it up online.
Well, I can buy it myself anywhere online, that's the reason I was there, in the store.
Who are these people that go to radio shack to buy a cell-phone? Please Ratshack, just die already. You no longer have anything to do with Radios or a Radio Shack. You cater to no particular audience or customer. You threw your base completely under the bus. You no longer have a niche market. Your not a big box. You don't have anything anyone else doesn't have. How do they make money, with a business model like that?
