the source by circuit city is what used to be the radio shack stores.
interestingly enough, now that circuit city bought out the tandi
corporation, and changed all the radio shack stores in canada to the source
by circuit city, there are now genuine radio shack stores opening up...i am
guessing these are the independant american owned franchises.
you can perchase online at
www.thesourcecc.ca
or at your local brick and mortor.
