Parking Meter Guts

When parking becomes so expensive that meters take an ATM card instead of a quarter, all those coin-operated meters become surplus! Now you can own the mechanism from a used POM Inc. digital meter.

Requires a 9V battery (also not included) and has a reset to the left of the coin-slot. Preset for (12) minutes per quarter and if you can find a way to change it, let us know.

In Only

Worried about your appliances during storms? Our small, three-prong plug-in transient surge protector 1-1/2" x 1-1/4" x 1" (with no female end) plugs into a single outlet, whether on an outlet strip or an outlet receptacle. It turns the entire receptacle into a surge protector, and protects your wiring from high-voltage spikes. It works by directing the surge through itself and away from your valuables. It has an indicator LED and is fuse protected but, again, has no outlets on it. A very handy item. UL listed.
