Radio Shack catalogs 1939-2005

There used to be a site called www.radioshackcatalogs.com. For some reason the site owner obtained, scanned in all the catalogs to jpg and made you click page by page to see them. There were no commercials on the site either, which made no sense, given how the data was presented. I could tell the site would be gone at some point. So... I wrote some automation and with Winpcap and a packet analyzer, I was able to grab the raw jpgs. Some more automation and I then had pdfs which I present here. The quality of the scans is outstanding!

Can someone send archive.org an email with this torrent link? They're looking for many of these catalogs.

It's kind of sad what happened to Radio Shack. I really enjoyed shopping there. Browse the catalogs and you can see it was a major project just editing and printing those. I've used the catalogs to locate old RS products that are way better than anything made today and then found them via eBay.
