I'm going to replace all the coax.

Not all Radio Shacks are created alike. I have 3 in my area (30 mile radius). Go into one, and ask for an item I know RS sells, and they've never heard of it. Even tried looking up in their computer, and they swear it doesn't exist. Go to another RS, and they have it in stock, and can't understand why the other store didn't have it.
Re cable, many Radio Shacks at least used to have a back room where they have spools of cable that you can buy by the foot, however other stores just sell the pre-packaged stuff in the box. It's been several years since I've bought cable from the back room, so I'm not sure they still do that, but knowing how one RS can differ greatly from another, I'd recommend trying another store.
Myself, I use so much cable, that I bought a bulk spool from
Sadoun a couple years ago, and when I need any length, I just pull out the length I need. I've long ago paid for the spool based on what I would have paid at RS buying the pre-packaged stuff. I assume Sadoun still sell the bulk spools?
