I liked Lafayette Electronics a lot better than Radio Shack when they were in business. At least those guys knew what they had in their store.

Just buy the cable with rca plugs on each end and strip it back or get a coupe of these and wire them to whichever component doesn't have the RCA connection.

Yea there's plenty online outlets but it sucks that there's no store to just go into and get good adapters or circuit parts or etc

Edit, upvoted for ralphs and southern electronics

Amazon


And it's not even close.

I was in need of a new charging cable for my phone the other day and happened to be near a Best Buy. They wanted $20+ for the generic brand cable. You can get a 2 pack for $6 on Amazon.

Last time I went to Radio Shack in Thibodaux was to buy a certain back up battery for my Alarm system. When I waked in, the two employees actually looked shocked that an actual customer was there.

Radio shack is where the woke people used to hang out. I think you'd have liked it there.


Radio shack was awesome in the 80s. It's been worthless for years now.

RadioShack was really popping during the great CB radio craze.
