Anyone with address or phone # for these > stores, please reply. That's a place called Merrymac or something like that. It's in Katy, TX (a western suburb of Houston). They are on Genie, and you can order direct from them on there, or check directory assistance for their store phone number in Katy. Thier prices are always cheaper than normal Radio Shacks.
