My first radio-cassette player when kid, a Realistic. My Tandy Color Computer 1 & 3 from Radio Shack. Me and dad, were good customers back then, Ha-Ha ! With my friends, we got our portable CB from there too. A friend had one of the best ones sold there, it wasn't sold cheap as his portable CB wasn't cheap, great hardware.
