Azure Blue
The sky and this tough acid resistant, flame retardant .035" thick vinyl. I always forget how many decimal places to shift for mils - just trust me, this is heavy duty. It has a screen printable gloss finish and is 39-1/2" x 24". Quick experiments here indicate that a Sharpie(tm) will "take" on this stuff, but most markers don't. It's just longing to be cut up into place mats, high chair mats, stencils, art mats, or your craft project.

Thermal Sensor
Heat switch that is normally open below 135° F and closes at higher temperature. Imagination is the limit here. We don't have formal electrical ratings but believe it can handle about 2 Amps @ 120 VAC. It can be used (perhaps with a relay) to trigger a fire alarm when mounted near a furnace, in a garage, or in an attic. How about using it to shut off electronics or motors when overheating occurs? Or to activate a fan for cooling? Use it to record how long the furnace is on to rate its efficiency. 5/8" dia x 3/8" sensor head with (2) 1/4" x 1-5/8" long fixed leads.

To Dye For
Actually, to dye with. Top quality highly concentrated fabric dyes from Putnam Dye Co. (Since 1876!!) The fadeless dyes come in individual packets with enough for about 1 pound of dry material. And they work on a very wide range of natural and synthetic fabrics. We have a rainbow of colors from which we will pick (3) different ones for your order. They come with instructions.

Aahhh! Bottle
At 2" sq x 3-3/4" tall overall, this clear frosted 4.5 oz glass bottle cries out for pleasantly exotic applications: like holding perfume, or sand art, or special bath oil. The narrow mouth and blue plastic cap add 3/4" height above the 3" high square shoulder of the bottle itself. Being very heavy glass, it should be safe in the bathroom. And the frosting is light enough that contents will be clearly visible. Sweet!

Make Molds For Free!
Just leave bread in a damp place. Or buy this stuff and make casts of solid objects, anything from faces and fingers to celery and crucifixes, with quick-setting Instamold. (We'll sell you 10 oz. of the Instamold compound, but you provide the water to mix it with.) Then fill the molds you've made with plaster, wax, or Permastone-yes, we sell Permastone too. It's an extremely strong casting medium with a clean white hue when set, waterproof and scratch resistant. Each can we sell has 1-3/4 lbs. of Permastone, to be mixed with water.

Rectangular Bottles
These 12 oz. plastic bottles look like they might have been made for aftershave or hair oil. They might also line up very neatly in a rack in the lab or workshop. They're 4-1/2" across, 1-3/4" deep, and 5" tall (counting the screw-on cap). The mouth is 15/16" ID and they are a beautiful dark blue.

A Snarl of Magnet Wire
One of those sharpie East Coast outfits pulled a fast one on this poor naive Midwestern dealer. The result is we have a pile of exotic coated copper magnet wire. The coatings and colors vary widely, as does the gauge of the wire. With a couple of exceptions there isn't enough of any one kind among the hundreds in the pile to list separately. So we are offering an assortment and you get whatever we grab. Either way you will get a terrific value, particularly if you have an exotic application and get just what you need. Even if you are just making a garden variety coil or electromagnet you will still find the prices are very good. So go ahead, profit from our misfortune. We are glad to be of service. Sigh.

Fiber Optics
The wave of the future. Create your own ISP or long-distance phone company. The plastic fiber-optic cables are clear, 1/32" dia single strand. Unjacketed is IFC-U1000, 1000nM. What do modelers do with it? A recent magazine on model railroading showed how to build a lighted marquee using fiber optics. Pretty neat!! The big boys get $1.60 to $1.90/per foot for this stuff!! All fiber optics sold in 10-ft lengths. Extremely neat!!

Needle File Set
Miniature 5–1/2" steel needle files. They come in the usual assortment of flat, wedge, triangular, and round shapes, (10) in all. They seem to be pretty uniformly fine with none that we would call coarse. Made in China, they come in a vinyl carrying case that snaps shut. Not as classy as some of the sets we have seen in the $18.00 range, but perfectly serviceable for most applications. And at a third the price.

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 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.)

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).
