This site has been around for about five years I gues but in case you missed it, someone undertook the enormous task of scanning and converting to Flash form, in the form of an online "book" with turnable pages, Radio Shack catalogs going all the way back to the 1930s:
www.radioshackcatalogs.com
And for people who grew up thinking that retailer has mostly only sold cellphones and batteries will be in for a big surprise! They sold lots of audio gear, from plasticky stuff all the way up to very respectable mid-fi gear equivalent to Pioneer, JBL and Yamaha.
For example, starting on page 2 of the 1979 catalog is their stereo gear. You can also turn the pages with your mouse. And click onthe pages to enlarge them and move them around.
Good memories for me & always looked forward to catalog release day!
They also sold many electronic components and electronic kits.
