One more credit insurer abandons Maplin Electronics

I'm sure there were 3 in Cardiff at one point.

I remember poring over the catalogue as a youngster, and ordering an aircraft band to MW convertor kit (which I never got to work) but there was some mystery about the place.

Now it seems to be full of expensive drones and gaming keyboards.

It would be sad to see them go, but they stopped being an electronics shop ages ago and seem to be competing with too many other mainstream retailers to survive now.
