SURPRISE!!
Mystery Boxes of stuff like what you see in the catalog. Maybe we had a little left but not enough to continue the listing. Maybe we only got a few as part of an odd lot. Maybe we just lost some, and just found them in our warehouse. You will get items which originally listed for at least $25.00 total in our catalog (or would have, if we had enough). You pick. The "electro-mechanical" box has things like motors, switches, hardware and components that are useful parts but want to be worked into something bigger. The "consumer" box has more ready-to-go type items, and things that don't have as technical a flavor, like bottles, toys, books and giant rubber bands. The fun is in the mystery and surprise. Perfect if you don't know what to give Aunt Maude and Uncle Ned, or if you can't decide how to bring your order up to the minimum. Every couple of months the contents will keep changing, so even if you have gotten a box before, feel free to order again! (Please note: Ordering multiple boxes at the same time will result in duplicate items.)

The Neon Blackboard
You'll get their attention when you post the soup du jour, the bar special, or, at home, a note about his dental appointment on this clever "neon blackboard." The 7-3/8" x 6-3/4" clear acrylic sheet inside a black frame has (5) UV LEDs along one edge. Write on the acrylic with the enclosed marker or any fluorescent highlighter and the writing will magically glow. (Be careful, those lights show up scratches in the acrylic.) Stands on its own easel and measures 8-3/4" x 7-3/4" x 7/8" thick overall. You add (3) "AA" batteries. Very cool, in the right place.

Perpetual Motion
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Spin this spindle and watch it turn in perpetuity!! Well, for a long time anyway. Inside the 5-1/2" long colored plastic spindle are magnets which are repelled by magnets in the 5" x 3" black plastic base. The variously colored spindle floats in the air above the base thus virtually free of normal friction. It also has red lights to light up its way as it spins, giving it almost a strobing effect. Nifty desk toy named "Revolution".

Speaker On A Keychain
Electronics don't get much cuter than this 1" black cube speaker for your MP3 player, smarty phone or other device with a 3.5mm jack.

Restore Your Remote
Don't toss it and buy a universal remote. (How many things are really universal, after all?)
