It's kind of weird how Walmart became so successful where Kmart failed, at the end of the day it was pretty much the same store.
Kmart never changed or updated. The last time I was in one was 2006, it literally looked like 1986 for the most part save the tube tester in the back was gone.
Damn it I miss walking into a store and being able to buy useful electronics. Looking for a tube tester right now, actually.
The ones in stores were purposely set low so you'd always have weak or bad tubes.
The tube testers I see at shows now are running about $150. I need to pick one up this year, it's probably now or never.
