    This is the only place I know of in Helena where one can buy certain electronics and accessories,…read moreand they do have the standard (read: good) RadioShack selection. Just don't go in expecting help finding what you need; I would absolutely not have been able to find and purchase a replacement adapter for my portable record player if I hadn't already known what I needed and how to locate it. I showed up at RadioShack today with my suitcase-sized player in tow to find the employee on duty embroiled with another customer. No biggie; I knew where to find the dummy plugs and jumped right in. I found four that would more or less fit, and I will say the guy at least came over and helped me try them out further and get the one that had the right internal diameter. He also offered to get the adapter and plug out of their packages so I could try them in store, so points for that. However he did not, as far as I saw, look at the polarity guide on the back of my player to make sure he was attaching the plug to the adapter cord the right way around; when I asked him if we needed to make sure the polarity was right (knowing we did but wanting to let him save face if he'd forgotten), he just mumbled, "sure." I checked it myself and he had done it right, but I have no way of knowing if he actually looked at it or if he just lucked out, it being a fifty-fifty chance. Then he crouched behind the counter, presumably plugging it into the outlet while I tested the player. No go; it started, spun for a second, and stopped again. After a minute or so of me making sure things were right on my end and checking the fit of the plug, he suddenly mumbled an apology about having somehow unplugged it from the outlet. Okay, test again. Spin spin...stop. I kept having to ask if it was still plugged in, since I couldn't see what he was doing and he was apparently unwilling to communicate with me except by mumbling a reluctant answer when asked a direct question. He decided the plug didn't fit right and needed to have a smaller internal diameter, so we went to hunt for another one...by which I mean he looked at a couple packages, then abandoned me to wander five or ten feet away and play with his cell phone while I examined the rest. I found the one that was the next step down, we tried it, and it didn't fit. At that point, I was disappointed but ready to walk out without an adapter -- if they didn't have it, they didn't have it. Tapping the panel over the compartment on my player that houses the speaker and power supply, he asked if I'd ever opened it up. No, I hadn't. He suggested that it might be easier to open it up and replace the connection point for the adapter. "Don't you think it'd be better to just find a plug that actually fits?" I asked. "I guess. If you think so," he mumbled back, as if it were a dumb thing to suggest. Suspecting an ongoing whoops-it-fell-out-of-the-outlet-somehow problem, I asked if there were another outlet where we could test it. He reluctantly showed me to the other end of the counter, where he plugged the adapter in, tested it to prove it was delivering power, and plugged it into the player. I turned the player on and lo and behold, it spun and continued spinning at an even rate even when I cranked it up to 78 rpm. My helper seemed oddly reluctant to sell me the adapter at this point; he kept mumbling about "Well, I guess, if you think it'll work," even as it continued working right in front of him. He eventually rang me up (though not without taking a break to reply to his noisy cell phone, apparently worn out from all the wonderful customer service he'd been delivering), and away I went, $30 poorer and one adapter richer. Back at home, the player's running smoothly and churning out the tunes. Guess it wasn't the plug size, bub.

    Best place to go for anything I need that I cant seem to find anywhere else. Although RadioShack…read moremay not always be my first stop, it ALWAYS seems to be my last stop. Lol maybe I need to be taking my own advice and ALWAYS make this my first stop. Sales staff are knowledgeable and always give me the best information. I promise I'll be back!
