Yes, this is an actual Radio Shack (technically categorized as a dealer), still open in the spring of 2023. Yes, the proprietor, a good natured yokel and sometime town political operator/gadfly, is "the Greek" in question. (There is no Greek restaurant here.) He can and will order in items, if he can find them. This may be the last place within 300 miles to find electronics parts by brick-and-mortar perusal. For these facts alone, this outfit deserves 3 stars. This shop is vintage old Nevadana, as are the delightful cast of characters who wander in and out. Drop in, buy some headphones, or even a small tube TV set. read more

This Radio Shack in Ely Nevada is Amazing! I was just on a camping trip with friends and our satellite radio receiver developed a short in the 12volt power cord. We were in Great Basin Park with little other radio stations without our satellite radio receiver. I told the guys we might be in luck? I've bought a few items from a Radio Shack store in Ely a little over an hour away. The fellas said "Radio Shack is out of business." I told them not in Ely! Let's see if we can call to see if they have the cable we need? We found a place on Mt. Wheeler that afternoon where there was a bit of cell phone service and I called The Greek Radio Shack in Ely. George (The Greek) answered and I explained what we needed. He checked and said he had a replacement cord. We explained we would be traveling from camp over an hour away. George said he had to close the store to go to a city meeting in a bit, but he would come back to the store and reopen for us in the evening after the meeting so we could get the cord we needed. We left Camp and headed to Ely to had a Good Chinese dinner. Then went to the RadioShack and waited for George. He arrived in the evening just like he said. He opened the store for us and had the part we needed. I was surprised to find out how inexpensive it was considering its a namebrand item. While we were in the store my buddies were amazed at all the items he had including a showcase of really interesting Antique Radios on display! A couple of the fellas said they were going to bring their families on a trip to Ely to show them all the great items in the store and then ride the train. The people in Ely are Very Fortunate to have this Radio Shack store. Thank You George! You made are trip to Ely Well Worth It! read more

George seems to always have what I need for my electronic needs. I also am a strong believer in supporting our local merchants here in Ely.

Pretty much the prices at this Radio Shack location cost a lot more then other locations. Didn't have the brand I was looking for which was on their ad also.. read more

Every year when I go to the silver state challenge race I end up needing something and every year this place comes through. Thank you!

This business is very much NOT closed - shame on whoever claimed to Yelp that it was. George is our "go to" guy for a lot of stuff, ranging from pc accessories, to batteries to headphones to video games (and consoles) as well as music players & accessories. This is a very small town and there are not a lot of options as far as "shopping locally" - This store is among the best of those options. He keeps a huge stock of stuff in that little building - stuff that you'd never find anymore at Wal Mart or a "regular" Radio Shack. Support local business when you can, and if you're visiting Ely definitely visit George! read more

Radio Shack as a whole is a shell of what it used to be. The Greek is about the closest thing to an old Radio Shack as their is anymore. When you walk it you'll wonder how anyone can find anything in there, but just ask George and he'll know exactly where to look. read more
