[Coco] Tandy Electronics??!!

[Chad H]

I noticed that, and the Tandy logo itself seems familiar.  On their "About" page it says they've been in business since 1973.

Looked on the Wikepedia site for "Radio Shack" and found...

"Tandy (through InterTAN) also operated a chain similar to RadioShack in the UK under the Tandy name from the 1970s. Carphone Warehouse bought the shops in 1999, and converted them to its format over the next few years, or sold them."

Also interesting where the show the old "Radio Shack" logo (pre-1995) the seems to have the same font as the "Tandy" logo on the UK website.

I'm guessing Tandy stores in the UK are what the Radio Shack stores here  in the US could have been??
