Arthur Fiedler passed away in 1979, the same year as the catalog you're showing. He was a great conductor and showman, very dynamic.

I've noticed a old/expensive tech was just built way better. If you actually opened your devices up, they'd be so precisely, intricately and masterfully designed. People took pride in their inventions.

Hearing your voice makes me so happy. I’ve been going through a lot recently. My sister just passed from cancer and it’s really getting to me. Listening to you helps calm me. Like sitting next to a cozy fire. I hope to find a man with a voice like yours to fall asleep to someday. Edited: (I found one he’s very sweet his name is Chris.)

You’re one of the OG’s of the ASMR game! I always love seeing an upload from you.

I have one of these in mint condition. It is a true pleasure to listen to. Something about the amplification/speakers playing the classical music channel feels almost healing

Kind of interesting to see that despite housing prices and car prices being so sky high nowadays, there

I can't tell you how much I love listening to your voice, both soothing and calming as well as stimulating at the same time don't ask me how, you definitely have a gift in your voice which would be perfect for an audiobook reader

This is decades before I was even born, somehow it makes it more relaxing. Great ASMR.

My mom had a Realistic system back in the early 80s... I made a LOT of mix tapes with it. The tape deck had a record level so you could get the saturation of the tape JUST right for the music you were recording (and also eliminate start and stop noise)... And I do miss those diamond lattice wood speakers. Crazy to think everything in here costs 4x as much in today's dollars! But yeah, this whole catalog brings back so many memories! Thanks, awesome video!

This is the type of unique content I want, thanks, sir. I dunno how to describe what nostalgia synapse this is tickling, but oh man. This is fantastic. And relaxing.

I still own a 1970's Radio Shack/Realistic stereo system. Realistic was actually made by Marantz.

I watch many asmr channels on KZread. When I absolutely can not sleep I can always count on the relaxing asmr channel. This video was delightful. It deeply relaxed me and then I heard a kitty cat meow and a smile slowly spread across my face. The cat only improved the video sir. 😀

So happy to see a video from you tonight! My grandparents owned a Radio Shack when I was little so this was fun to listen to.

Not much makes me happier than opening youtube and seeing a new video from you!

Even if it's a digital catalog without paper flipping, this format is wonderful. Whatever you do, you're staying the GOAT of ASMR!

Thanks for the blast from the past. I remember ALWAYS stopping by the Radio Shack every time we were at the mall. I had forgotten about the room of speakers that each store had until you mentioned "pressing the buttons" at the store.

I am so happy whenever I see your uploads, it doesn't matter what the subject is because you never fail to make me sleepy. I hope you and your family are well, thank you for your content

I was there and I can confirm without a doubt:

I miss RadioShack especially finding electronic components and trying to build something

One of my brothers had a Pioneer receiver from 1976 or so up until 2020. It was replaced with an Echo Studio. Another brother had a 20 watt Pioneer and some RS speakers.
