Sure, used to do a LOT of business with them. Were originally radio/
TV parts and secondarily hobbiest/ham stuff. Had some of the first
inexpensive ham and CB gear on the market. They started opening local
stores ala Radio Shack in the early '70s, carried about the same type
of stuff except better. Had one in the college town. Kind of dried
up and blew away in the mid '70s, about when ham started going to
appliance-operators and consumer electronic repair started dying with
the switch to solid-state gear. No battery card, though.
