60+ Years Of Radio Shack
ResearchBuzz has a story about a huge archive of Radio Shack catalogs online.
Radio Shack has been in business since 1921, over 90 years. And for 65 of those years has produced an outstanding electronics and technology catalog, surpassing the catalog of all rival companies.
Through the decades, this catalog expanded to contain a mix of hi-fidelity stereos, amplifiers, radios, phonographs, speakers, TVs, CBs, communication equipment, computers, electronic components, antennas, electronic test equipment, educational kits, toys, gadgets, appliances, tools, batteries, and more.
Products from the RadioShack catalog were purchased by the everyday consumer, hobbyist, and professional.
At this website you will be able to view these old 1939-2005 Radio Shack catalogs…year by year…page by page.
What can you do with an archive of old RadioShack catalogs? Use them for an electronic parts & products resource, a reference guide, viewing the progression of technology and the pricing that coincided with technology, research, reminiscing, and fun reading!
The front page has a number of catalog-related menu items — there are general catalogs, computer catalogs, and “other”; along with the catalog links there’s history, forums, and — seriously — over 100 Radio Shack commercials, dating back to 1970.
The catalog archive is here.

This sounds like a fun one to check out. I like looking at old ads and such, I think it’d be neat to check out what was “hot” way back then. :-)
