      Sounds like Radio Shack in the before times, that is until their primary focus became cell phones and dvd players.

      Pretty sure they must be related, considering yes radio shack sold that stuff as well, and they sold Tandy computers

  RadioShack is a subsidiary of Tandy. It was not created by Tandy, but bought in the 60s.

      And Tandy Leather still exists! It’s in better shape than Tandy Electronics (which is called RadioShack now, the bought ate the buyer).
