___
56 YEARS AGO
Tape recorders. Home stereo components. Portable record players. Transistor radios
A look back at some of the ’60s home electronics American consumers were buying from the Radio Shack chain, 1964. These pages were taken from the Radio Shack catalog from that year.
Motor City Radio Flashbacks found an amazing website online where you can view the entire archived Radio Shack publications — where you can view page-to-page — every single catalog from 1936 to 2005.
It’s a ‘Realistic’ electronics back-page from the past! Check out these RS brand products once having marketed and priced from 56 years ago.
