Long before Shein offered suspiciously cheap deals on some of the faultiest tech known to man, Radio Shack was the place to grab the latest gadgets. Whether TVs, speakers, or an iDog that would break within 20 minutes of use, the tech retailer was a mall must-do during the '70s, '80s, '90s and early aughts.
