LEDs By The Dozen
Light emitting diodes. Solid state devices that provide the ubiquitous power and indicator lights on your electronic gadgetry. Unlike lamps, there are no filaments that glow. Rather, some two volts of DC power at a miniscule 10 to 20 milliamps of current get the chemistry excited, and they just plain emit. Emit is a good word, too, as they don't really cast light, but glow brightly. We have a nice assortment of 3 and 5 MM diameter sizes in red, green, orange, and yellow. The longer lead is always positive, the shorter always negative, and you always need a current limiting resistor (about 500 to 1,000 ohms for 5 to 9 volt DC sources) to keep the current in the 10-20 MA range. If that's Greek to you you're either going to blow a lot of LED's or learn to change incandescent indicator lamps ! !

Craft stores sell tubes of these beads for a ruinous $4.00 per tube or about $3.35 per oz..

Mylar Warmth
They have the look of something designed for the space program. They're mylar, a paper-thin shiny metallic sheet, that comes in handy when your car breaks down in winter, or when you're separated from your climbing group on the slopes of Mt. McKinley. Barring that, they're also a perfect material for a do-it-yourself cold-climate Halloween costume-near impossible to rip by hand, but cut easily with scissors. There's no padding, so they wouldn't be too comfy on your bed, but they sure are warm. They both come folded about the size of a wallet. The Blanket is 52" x 82", the Sleeping Bag is 34" x 84".

Mobile Music
Make your portable CD player really portable: take it for a ride with these skip stabilizers. The plastic housing is full of springs that should eliminate skips on all but the worst roads. Plus, each has an adapter that connects your car's cigarette lighter with your CD player. (To hear the music, though, you'll have to order-from us, naturally-a pair of speakers for the player's headphone jacks.) The DC-DC converter by itself would be a steal at this price. Use it for your CDs, or for any small DC appliance: tape deck or perhaps a portable espresso machine? Made by Koss; 5-5/8" x 6-3/8" x 1-1/4", black it's 6VDC, 500mA, with a 3.5mm plug. They take the standard 12VDC input.

Large Rock Polishing Kit
Budding lapidarians will lap up this rock polishing kit which is so complete it even contains some rocks. The polishing tumbler has a (3) lb. ((1) qt.) fifteen sided rubber barrel and is driven by a 115 VAC motor. Overall dimensions are 6" x 6" x 7-1/2" high. In addition to the tumbler, the kit includes an assortment of jewelry findings and a detailed manual giving you easy to follow instructions. But don't think of it only as useful for jewelry making. As a hobby, our Uncle George for many years collected and polished a wide variety of rocks which he found interesting and made beautiful in and of themselves.

A Lot Of Pull
Pick up this 1-3/4" x 7/8" x 3/8" ceramic pick-up magnet while we still have it. It's in a heavy metal housing and has a stationary metal hoop, about 1/2" i.d., on top. The manufacturer tells us the magnet will grab up to 30 lbs of metal, and while Pat wouldn't bet on anything over 20 lbs, it's still very strong. Especially if you're going to dangle it on the end of a cord to gather spilled nails or to fish your keys out of the lake/pond/sewer/drain!

LCDs
These liquid crystal displays are raring to go. As soon as we can get Mary Ann to stop playing with them we'll pick out (5) assorted displays for you. (She keeps zapping them with static electricity to see what pops up. Mary Ann is easily amused.) Sizes range from 1-3/16" x 2" to a few as large as 5" x 10". They're unused. Some have pin leads, some have traces right on the wafer. Either way, they're a terrific bargain.

They're Off!
Armed with orange-rubber squeeze bulbs, the Techie Team is blowing through the dust bunny races! Okay, it's a little exaggeration. They're not full-grown dust bunnies, they're dust specks. And the Techies are just blowing them off circuit boards, electrical contacts, and vintage Motown platters. But the 4" x 2" dia bulb with a 1/2" x 1/8" ID brass tube on the end has greater precision and a much longer shelf life than an aerosol duster, and provides more fun than they would ever have at Hialeah!

Fold-A-Folio
Carry and store your letter-size documents (or magazines, or photos, or recipes, or peanut-butter sandwiches) in this portfolio of strong, translucent-white LDPE (think corrugated plastic). The 12" x 9-1/2" x 1-3/4" thick case can be unfolded and stored flat, if you want to order ahead and store a stack.

Decibel Meter
'Tain't a toy, McGee. And 'tain't surplus. This digital dB meter from Sper Scientific is pocket-sized--8" x 1-5/8" x 7/8"--and measures sound levels from 32 to130 dB with a built-in 1/2" microphone using (2) "AAA" batteries (included). The resolution is 0.1 dB and it's accurate to within 1.5 dB. Has a built-in calibration oscillator and comes with a foam windscreen and small screwdriver for calibrating. It's very easy to use, with one-button operation on what the manufacturer calls the smallest, lightest dB meter on the market--to help you stay a step ahead of OSHA.
