Good old RG59 coax cable. You know it, you love it, it's what you use to connect your TV to the cable outlet, plus many other vital applications. Black, 6' long, 1/2" dia, both ends are threaded male. A great product, and a lot cheaper than you'll find anywhere else, we dare say.

27670 COAX CABLE, 6FT |
Our name for this "beige box" which lets you hook up as many as (4) phones to (1) line when the phones have 4-line cords and the line terminates in a standard modular receptacle. Just plug the box into the modular receptacle, pry off the lid and wire in (1) to (4) phones (or lines) and fasten the box to the wall. The box is 4-1/4" x 2" x 1-1/8" thick and phone beige. Sounds like a way to get the phone, the fax, the computer and an extension all on to a single line??

A cool construction set for loads of magnet fun. The blue plastic base (13" x 8" x 2" ) provides both storage for the (85) metal shapes - including circles, squares, triangles, and more - and a work space. Embedded on top are (4) 1-1/2" square magnets. Take the shapes and build! Houses, bridges, models - the sky's the limit. And since the pieces stick together through magnetism, typical rules of engineering are relaxed or totally unenforced! Great imaginative fun. The small pieces mean it's for age 6 and up.

Resistive element insulated and wrapped in soft, flexible (fiberglass) jacket. The wrapped section is about 27 inches long and about 3/16" in diameter. Each end has a 4 inch insulated lead, but one end is a single strand solid wire and the other is a seven strand braid. We haven't any idea where the marriage takes place! Anyway, they're rated at 90 watts. Plug 'em into 110 VAC and the thing heats up to the point that it's quite hot to the touch - too hot to hold onto. Wrap it around whatever it is that you need to keep warm and make your own heating systems. Make yourself a coil and you can probably keep your coffee pot hot. Or operate it at 12 volts as a telescope dew chaser. You'll notice some smoke when you plug it in the first time, but this won't happen once it's burned in. Happy heating by Hot Watt. Melanie, Tory, and Donna all want one!

There's a story behind these zippers and we're sure it has something to do with moist nights under a Southern moon. We received a shipment of shredded pink lingerie from Georgia, you see, from a charming group of young ladies who must be awfully cold at night. Anyway, the lingerie was pretty much a write-off, but the zippers were in pristine condition, never having been used. They're 7" long and set in 8-1/4" of synthetic cloth. And, of course, they're pink.

Nontoxic, water–reducible acrylic– or latex–based paint sticks to most surfaces and glows in the dark after only a brief exposure to bright ambient light. We have 1/2 oz bottles of acrylic–based yellow/green, 1 oz bottles of acrylic–based in the hard–to–find icy–blue color. The 1 oz and 2 oz colors will glow for up to 20 hours. Any will work great for Halloween costumes and hobby applications, and glow like crazy under blacklight. And without a single radionuclide! Amazing!

Never seemed fair to nail the "lazy" tag so permanently on the "Susans" but that probably has no "bearing" on the issue. Also called turntable bearings, they are the square, flat ball bearing devices YOU bolt between two flat objects to achieve rotation. Like that spinning center section of a Chinese restaurant table. We had these in surplus once and they were quite popular. To our chagrin, we discovered they could be bought commercially for the same price. So we did. The 4" version is rated for a 300lb. load, the 6" for 500lbs., and the 12" (round) for 1000lbs.
