Greetings and welcome to an LGR thing and this is the thing that I haven't done in a while that is take a look at

Adverbs of degree

Advertisements Flyers circulars what-have-you for different retailers both dead and alive and this one is pretty much dead

Unfortunately, this is RadioShack. We're gonna be taking a look at two different catalogues here one from April of

But I'm intrigued by a lot of the stuff that is probably going to be in here

I say probably because I'm looking through these yet

and then also this one here that I'm much more nostalgic for cuz I remember it is the RadioShack Christmas catalog December of

1991 and let's go ahead and dive into this because I find this to be

For a couple of reasons one to get some sort of first-hand knowledge of what some of these items cost and how they were

Advertising them which oddly enough can be very much lost a time

Especially for these kind of circulars and ads and flyers and things that you would see

that were either sent directly to people in the mail box which I believe these were and

Also, they were just stuck into the middle like an insert inside of newspapers during Sundays

There's very few archives of them online so

Anytime that I find them like in a bundle on eBay or whatever?

I buy them, so let's look through them and hope to we find something interesting in here

kind of sad that they're gone the last one finally closed recently nearby and I've already missed them a little bit because

Sometimes you just needed a weird thing and they had it anyway

I'm sure we're gonna be seeing plenty of weird things in here

Let's get right to it starting with the Chairman's thoughts as is their largest sales flyer of the year. That's nice

And then as $8.99 for a pretty sleek looking video VHS camcorder the world's smallest and lightest full-size one apparently

sweet stuff that would have been awesome in 91 and of course a

I had one of these seems like everyone did at one point or another there was just a lot of clear electronics and 90's period

Game boys and consoles and phones and just everything calculators, whatever

So we have some spectacular gifts from our video. Shaq a lot of Memorex gifts apparently Memorex Memorex memorized Memorex this one's awesome

400 bucks auto head cleaning Plus MTS stereo and broadcasts

And I've seen like these stacked up and Goodwill's fraud like a dollar

And yeah some realistic thingies in here too and mixed in between the Memorex realistic was their in-house brand in case you're not aware

So yea RadioShack had their cheaper alternatives like these here's a little pocket color TV

I never actually knew anyone that had one of those, but I would thought they were extremely cool

They were definitely a central place to go for audio programmable portable CD player

$179 and what is what the as seen on TV here as seen on TV see on TV

What TV station was putting these? Yeah well?

Assorted things that the while these aren't the greatest ones these are all realistic brand not anything that I would necessarily go for nowadays even

Though they look like aesthetically very pleasing. I got to love the woodgrain everything seems like everyone had one

It was always there it was like a stack things and components

And he had some big friggin speakers that were too big for we never played music that loud we had giant speakers anyway

And you know glass on the front there which was sweet. I just like moving that glass door

RadioShack gifts for people on the go, yes RadioShack sold radios. They were a shack for radios. Yeah, we got CB radios

stereo cassettes walkie-talkies shortwave radios

Some other crap this one's ridiculously expensive. What is that 2 meter VHF FM ham transceiver?

Goodness, and we have a nice deal on pull out here. Oh

I guess that goes and oh yeah dashboard CD player for 360 bucks. My dad ended up putting one in his Mitsubishi truck

Sometime in the mid 90s mid late 90s. I guess was late 90s. I don't know, but it was like oh, man

I had no clue that Tammi did cell phones. What is this personal size cellphone goes anywhere?

I love Tandy stuff as you've probably seen if you saw my video a while back where I went into Radio Shack just before they

They brought back the brand right at the end car or carry you could put this one in the car or carry it around

Santa Claus give me a fax machine. I can just imagine 90 Santa getting orders for fax machines on his pager

And he's like oh, I just got a page about a fax machine better put it my Trapper Keeper

And he writes his notes in a Trapper Keeper right next to a like a folder of a Lamborghini Countach

outgoing message cassettes you give rich little volume one into comedy edition and Julie Dee's yeah

I remember that being a thing there was one of our family friends had an answering machine

They looked they were much older than this, but yeah they

Had some Australian actor sounding dude doing the answering thing and it was funny

I guess because it was like oh, they're not Australian huh, I don't know man

This is the kind of area of this catalogue that I was really wanting to get to because holy crap computers

Then this one right here was this an 11-10 HD. Yep. Oh

I want another one why not because it looks so new and fresh and clean then they're not yellowed at all. They look so nice

Mmm. I don't know what this is about what is this Good Housekeeping promises a limited warranty to consumers

Defective is like Good Housekeeping gonna come by and give me a new Tandy if it breaks like the magazine

What is that check this out though? Holy nuts?

$349 as it's on sale during Christmas. That's a lot. That's more than I expected even. What are these oh?

Well, I guess these are smart dry so they're a little different

Maybe these I've never used before like these 11 10s

And the 1100 series kind of computers of it's a really cool form factor

and I like the fact that they have you know they run like a full ms-dos and

Tandy Deskmate and other things either using NEC v20

But it's cool. It's a little compact thing that runs Das and holy crap Oh

Baby, this is the this is the centerfold computer of the catalog literally the center?

In this very room. I'm proud of that. These are some of these are kind of hard to find

This is an interesting little computer though Tandy 1000 RLX HD. It's a

ten megahertz 1 Meg of RAM once again and a VGA

Okay, here we go special purchase sound blaster incredible PC card with 11 voice music MIDI interface in software

140 dollars and you know if you were to hear one of these brand-new in box today like an eBay that still be a pretty
