I work at Radioshack. (but yeah, most of them are pretty slow...)

For future reference, the adjustable regulator is called an LM317, and needs additional circuitry to work.

What are these 7808 regulators for then?

In my case, psonep. (yeah, I know I haven't made <s>much</s> any progress, but I have been busy in school and working and all that stuff. But I have everything but the 7808.)

I have 3 RadioShacks within a 15 minute drive- one in the mall, two in plazas. The one in the mall only sells cheapo gadgets, one of the plaza ones has a wall-rack full of parts, and the last one has all the parts drawers. NONE of the people I have talked to even knows what AMPERAGE is.

Get a load of this:

They still do the same thing now... make cheap ripoffs of popular stuff. (just look at their electro-static air cleaners vs. The Atomic Breeze.

)

I'd consider going to the site of their new store name, but they cant even hotlink it, that's cheap.
