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 ! !

We have a number of battery holders, constantly changing in detail. They may be plastic, they may be metal. They all have either simple short wire leads or connection points. In all cases, they hold a number of batteries and connect them internally in series. The table shows the number and type of batteries held, the final voltage, material, lead type and price.

One of our truly unusual treasures. It's a used 28 VDC single-pole/single-throw toggle switch, possibly military surplus. A sensor mounted on it is labeled Oxygen Warning Switch. We think that means that it switches off in the presence of pure oxygen, the better to keep from blowing something to kingdom come with an errant spark. Overall, it's 3-1/2" x 1-1/2" x 1", not counting the 3/4" toggle. The 3-pole sensor itself is under a black-painted aluminum cover 1-1/2" high x 7/8" dia. (3) leads, (3) holes in its right-angle mounting bracket. We're just not sure what it is that would be blown up if it weren't there.

Not every well-made rotary tool is a big-D. We consider this one not only a good-quality tool, but an excellent buy. The fitted plastic carrying case 12" x 8-1/2" x 3-1/2" contains not only the 120VAC-powered 8,000-30,000 rpm mini grinder, but a stand with a C-clamp to mount it on a bench or table, a 3-ft extension shaft, and a good assortment of bits, grinding stones, cut-off wheels, etc, including collets to fit 1/8" and 1/16" bits. The telescoping stand extends from 10" to almost 22" and holds the tool above your work, while you grind, sand, cut, etc., with the tip of the convenient, easy-to-grip, flexible extension. A nice package, and a very nice gift for yourself, or for anyone who enjoys working with hobby tools.

This deluxe ABS storage case is called a Store-It-ALL, and it does. But it could be called a Carry-It-ALL, for the sturdy handle and locking clasp, or it could be called a See-It-ALL, for its translucent lid. Or a Fits-It-ALL, for the removable dividers that let you configure it with any number of compartments from 5 to 26. But the 12" x 18" x 3" OA case should really be called ALL-I-Ever-Needed- To-Get-Organized!

We don't know exactly what this doohickey is for, but we're sure that if we were selling it to the government, it would cost at least a couple of hundred dollars. Labeled an ASM Cable Sensor (JKM Part #QMPD9700-3493-01), it has (2) 32" leads and a 1/8" dia eye in a 17/32" x 13/32" x 3/8" casing. It has a nominal impedance of approx 120,000 ohms in normal ambient light, and will go down to 750 ohms in bright light. If you want a bulk price so you can peddle this to Uncle Sam, just call. We can talk.

Start with one naked wire or a number of them, and a piece of our clever tubing, and end up with nice, tightly covered wire. For the specific diameters below, our each is a package of (10) 12" pieces of heat-shrink tubing. For an assortment of sizes, our each is a dozen pieces of 4" long tubing. You'll get (4) pieces each in 1/8", 1/4" and 1/2" diameters. All sizes are black. All will shrink to trim diameters half their current size when heated to 125°C/257°F. If only it worked on waistlines.
