Quad Power

The Quad XP-581 from Elenco provides four separate, fully regulated power supplies. Three are fixed and yield +5 VDC at 3 amps, -12 VDC at 1 amp, or +12 VDC at 1 amp. The fourth supply is variable, producing 2.5 to 20 volts of DC output at up to 2 amps. Line and output voltages are regulated to within 0.05 volts, and the supply is linear. All four supplies are shortproof as well. A current foldback circuit in each supply collapses the field in the event of a short, a current surge from the line, or an excessive current demand. Thus, both the Quad XP-580 and the equipment it's driving are normally protected from inadvertent errors or power company problems. Elenco built the supply as only Elenco will. The handsome, hooded metal case, - measuring 3-1/4" x 8-1/4" x 9-1/4" and weighing nine pounds - has a 3-wire grounded power cord for 115 VAC operation, panel meters for both current and voltage, and standard jacks for accessing the four regulated supplies. A two-year limited warranty and schematic is also included.

Adapting to AC-Surplus Transformations

There is an entire class of transformers that surplus dealers call "AC Adapters." What we really mean is transformers that plug directly into the wall (primary voltage 110 VAC), and via a cord and/or plug provide various levels of output current at variou s voltages. It is a rare buyer of surplus that gets the plug configuration he/she wants, and many get snipped off (plugs that is). They are handy power supplies, battery charging units, substitutes for batteries in toys and games, or for providing safe il lumination to models and displays. Be sure to note whether the output is AC or DC (Direct Current, like a battery) and whether it can provide enough current for your application. Unless otherwise noted, all are suitable for indoor use only. Stick with us and you'll get the hang of adapting to AC...and at much lower prices than your friendly appliance/game/computer/calculator shop asks. Unless otherwise noted, all adapters are for 115 volt AC primaries, and all have about 6 ft. cords. (MA=Milliamp) (A=Ampere) (VDC= Volts DC) (VAC= Volts AC).

The Penny Cutters

These are the so-called miracle shears from Pakistan. They were designed for use by paramedics and others needing quickly to cut wire, light sheet metal, or other tough stuff that might stand between them and their quarry. They are normally demonstrated cutting a penny in two. Which they will do. But not as a steady diet. Let's dispel a few myths. While these are Pakistani stainless, we're not talking any miracles in manufacturing. They are good for their purpose, and real handy to have in the old tool box. But their purpose isn't making pennies into 5-mil pieces, and you will twist or break them at about the same time you find out that you've done the same thing to U.S. laws! For sheet metal or wire or fishing leaders or tin cans or whatever, be our guests.
