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!

Magnifying Headband
Perfect for detail, hobby or jewelry work, for examining bugs and rocks and field specimens, even reading. An adjustable headband holds a flip-up visor. On the visor is a battery holde (2) "AAA", not included) and light which can be turned on and off and aimed where needed. Below the visor hangs a pair of magnifying lenses which can be flipped up out of your sight independent of the visor. (4) interchangeable acrylic lens sets are included, 1.2X, 1.8 X, 2.5X and 3.5 X. Quite well made and its patented design is thoroughly adaptable to whatever use.

Egg McChameleon
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Another gem plucked from the A.S.&S. mirabilia. The shape and size of a hen egg, this opaque stone (or matte-finished glass - we're not sure which) is interesting in itself. Touched with a red penlight in a dark room, the entire egg becomes a brilliant ruby color. Blue light/blue egg, etc. Fun and fascinating, and with a little sleight of hand, a sure way to convince the plebeians that you have some mysterious metaphysical power.

Super Loupe
A vastly enhanced jeweler's loupe. The 1" dia 10X lens in a 2-1/4" deep plastic housing is pre-focused for the plane upon which it rests, but is adjustable for protuberances. Illuminated, courtesy of (2) "C" batteries (you supply) in the 8" long white-plastic handle. Super.

Peltier Heat Pump
High tech comes to Am Sci & Surp!! It is here in the form of a Peltier junction, a thermo-electric device that translates electric power into heat, and perversely, into cool. Apply current @ 3-12 VDC to the gizmo and it extracts thermal energy from one face, thereby cooling it. The heat is dumped onto the other face, thereby heating it. Please note: you must use a heat sink on the hot side or the junction will fry itself, since it can quickly create a 65° C temperature differential in a no load situation. Stack two, or build a cascade to increase the thermal differential created. Or run it backwards. Apply heat or cold to the relevant face and produce a current. Amazing for science projects and experiments. Practical for coffee warmers, beer coolers and mini-refrigerator or warming oven applications. Comes with instructions. Large is 1-9/16" sq. x 3/16" thick.

Seltzer Power!
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Incendiary rocket fuel? We don't need no stinkin' incendiary rocket fuel. We got the Mighty Seltzer Rocket! The seltzer rocket, made of simple plastic parts. (No, don't lean over it!. That's not a foam nose cone, you know!) The 4-1/4" x 1-1/4" dia seltzer rocket that holds water and (1) dissolving seltzer tablet. The rocket that has shot almost 30 feet in the air for us. It comes with (4) antacid tablets, just like those you can buy at the drug store -- and it's basic science at its best!

3D
So you drew a blue line drawing and right next to it a red one and now you need the glasses to produce the 3D effect. You are in luck, we've got 'em! Disposable, they have 7/8" dia plastic "gel" lenses mounted in a 1-1/2" x 5-3/4" paperboard holder with a snozzola cutout. They also work on 3D comics and other purchased items if you are too lazy to draw your own.

Radiation Meter
Are the kids growing up with pride? Radiating good cheer? You can tell for sure with...What? It’s for nuclear radiation? An old Civil Defense meter? Bummer. Apparently, this OCD radiation meter from the Victoreen Mfg. Co. was made to sniff out the residue of the nuclear holocaust when you emerged from your bomb shelter. Calibrated 5 r/hr (Roentgen) with a X 0.1, X1, X10, X100 sensitivity selector, it runs on (1) “D” battery (not included.) The Civil Defense yellow boxes are about 8” x 4–1/2” x 3–1/2”. It comes with complete instructions for use. The CD V–777–2 includes two 4–1/2” long x 1/2” dia dosimeters and a 2” x 4” x 4” dosimeter charger. This one is used, but it works fine, even if it looks a bit scuffed.

Harry Potter’s Science Made Simple
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Care to sneak a little scientific education in with all the Hogwart’s wizardry? For ages 8 and up, the Simple Physics kit explains some basics with a few props (balls and sticks) and a binder-ready guide to experiments that appear to be spells and magic. The Astronomy kit includes a nice guide to the basics, including a constellation map, plus instructions and real lenses for constructing a simple telescope. All with appropriate Hogwarts insignia.

Giant Iguana
Life size Green Iguana, 3 ft. long from nose to tail. His tail is turned so he only takes 2 ft. of branch (or shelf) space. He weighs a hearty 3lbs. We have seen these guys being sold for food along the roadside in Central America, and we swear you could not tell it from the real thing--except that there they have Blue Iguanas. Not pretty, but not meant to be. The lizard fan in your family will fall in love at first sight. Hard rubber, beautifully painted.
