I'd still like to have a place where I could buy plugs and adapters. I never 
had a problem with Radio Shack plugs and adapters falling apart. I'm very 
sorry that you did. Places that sell plugs and adapters are becoming harder 
and harder to find. I guess you can order that stuff on line. But how I long 
for the day when you could go to a Radio Shack a few blocks away and get the 
patch cord, plug or adapter you wanted. 73. Doug, N6NFF Sacramento

I used to call them Radio Scraps, because when I bought parts (SUCH
AS JACKS AND ADAPTERS), some of them would fall apart shortly
afterwords.--Matt, N1IBB.
