"1939 to 2005 RADIO SHACK GENERAL CATALOG ARCHIVE" $RSH

This is amazing - somebody has compiled all of the Radio Shack catalogs ever published. Also, I didn't realize that they are apparently no longer publishing a catalog:

"Radio Shack currently publishes an in-store catalog called the Assortment Book or Assortment Guide. These are not available to the public and are usually limited to one copy per store."
I don't actually agree with the notion that Radio Shack needs to return to its roots. Selling electronic parts out of storefronts has been killed by many things: miniaturization, smartphones (a product of miniaturization), and Amazon. That's why my proposal was that the business should be in runoff. No capex, no pivots.
