I too would like to see something similar for the UK Tandy catalogues because although the range of products was in general quite cross-Atlantic there were UK specific sections on, for example, CB radio where the models sold in the USA weren't suitable for the UK and vice-versa.

I have three Tandy catalogues, two from around 1979-1981 if anyone wants to start up a UK specific online archive of Tandy catalogues. I'm sure others will still have other issues hanging around.

I still have a few surviving Tandy items, A Realistic TRC-1001 handheld CB, A 6-channel stereo audio mixer (32-1210), some Archer hand tools, and a 'Micronta' logic probe which is still in good order although I had to shorten the cable slightly to eliminate a broken cable core about a year ago.
