Reckon Dick Smith himself (being a True blue) would shake his head and think OMG.Try buying a set value resistor there now!!!
The huge DSE Powerhouse near us removed all the hobbyist stuff last year, lucky we've got a Jaycar about 20Kms from here. And hey what a waste of space that Tandy Electronics is 
it may as well be a Retravision.
Both Tandy (Radio Shack) and Dick Smith are owned by Woolworths now
