Were you referring to the connectors, or Radio Shack?

LOL! I used to hang out in Radio Shack in the good old days (mid 1970's), when I was 12, and help the customers (I knew more about electronics than most of the sales people). It was almost a real electronics store back then. They used to have walls and walls of parts: Now they have a few parts in drawers, and a few on the wall. I have more Radio Shack electronics parts than just about any Radio shack store does these days. Now they are mostly just an overpriced cell phone store (Though I occasionally drop in for old time's sake).

One of my saddest days was when they discontinued the Radio Shack catalog. I looked forward to it every year, and read every page as soon as it came out. I still have every year from the mid 70's to the end. (Maybe this post should go in the "I am a geek because ..." thread.)

PS: If you want to see how to connect to the OI in style, see the Team 116 OI adapter board on my web site via my link below, and in the thread about it here.

We get a lot of small electronics parts from these guys:
