at one point in time they sold small-scale electronic components for hobbyists.

As well as the tools to go with them.

And almost every product or device you bought there had a schematic of the internal circuits printed in the manual that came in the box.

At one point it was a mecca for electronics tinkerers and hobbyists.

I still have a soldering iron and a couple spools on solder that I bought there way back in history.
