[Junk Box Nick]

I still have the red Tandy pocket torch. Not used in these days of LEDs of course.

The Tandy mailers used to drive my father mad. Seems that on one visit my name was spelt incorrectly, then on another the assistant got something in the address slightly incorrect, etc. Of course ‘computer’ decides these are all different customers but postman knows it’s one house and I was getting three or four at a time!

I remember visiting the store in the mid-70s for a multimeter (22-204B) that was on offer and I was told that they hadn’t got any and offered me a ‘raincheck’. I distinctly remember replying: “Uh?” All then was explained.

I still have the multimeter (and the box it came in) – used it a couple of days ago!
