Armitron. I had one. It was pretty solid, honestly. I got it expecting it to be shittier.
EDIT: Wikipedia says it was made by Tomy, which explains everything.
Which reminds me, there was a fairly basic synthesizer sold by Radio Shack that was actually built by Moog. I've played with one personally and I'm pretty confident it's the best keyboard they ever sold.
Radio Shack was a mix of crappy <--> decent rebadged products.
I've told this story before, but I got a rebadged Sony boom box in 85-86 that was excellent quality (specifically, the double-cassette deck was great, I used it with receiver + CD player....not many portable stereos had line-in line-out with clean sound). It didn't die until 15 years of constant use.
Anyway, who knew? Sometimes RS had decent stuff sometimes it was total crap.
This boom box was huge, mind you.
If anyone has RS catalog circa 1985 I'd love to see a pic of it!
Realistic.
