Hi Kevin
Yes, they dealt with a lot of CB stuff, hifi, and we once bought a very
accessible talking volt meter. What made me think of them was the fact they
sold some good quality note-takers in the form of ordinary or micro
cassettes. Yes I know they are out-of-date now, but some of the Tandy makes
were good quality.
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns
