A/V DEVICES & ACCESSORIES

Works on all of them except the ones stuck to your eyeballs. Corrosion-Be-Gone is a gel made to remove the schmutz from all types of battery terminals, circuit boards and contacts, on everything from cars to computer boards. Our each is a 0.3 oz jar.

In 1958, Buddy Holly came out of radios like these. This retro version of the first transistor radios measures 4-1/4" x 2-1/2" x 1" in dark blue with a wire handle that doubles as an antenna. AM works better than the FM, but who listened to FM in 1958? Plenty loud (guaranteed to not fade away) with classic thumb-wheel tuning and volume. You add a pair of “AAA” batteries. To make things even more like 1958, carry the radio in your shirt pocket. Even has a standard 1/8" headphone jack. 

Don't toss it and buy a universal remote. (How many things are really universal, after all?) Try this jar of Keypad Fix, designed to clean and restore conductivity to the carbon on the keys and the copper PC board pads that make up the rubber-coated switches on remotes, game controllers, and security keypads. Contains enough to coat over 200 button contacts.

Maybe you like using multiple remote controls every time you binge-watch TV, but we’re one-clicker people, which is why we love these (2) universal remotes from GE®, which work with all major brands. You pick: the (4)-device Pro™ (model #32934), which is DVD/Blu-ray™ programmable for all TVs, and is sound bar- and streaming player-capable, 7” long in a beautiful rose color; or the (6)-device Ultra Pro™ (model #37038, the 800-lb gorilla of universal remotes), which has streaming hotkeys, Blue-ray™ home and menu navigation and is pre-programmed for Roku® and Samsung TVs, 8-1/2” long in classic silver with big, fully backlit, buttons. 4-Device unit requires (2) "AAA" batts. and 6-Device unit requires (2) "AA" batts., not included.

Snap this tiny JCamera onto the temple of your glasses and it's like Major Boothroyd himself sent you out to follow Auric Goldfinger. The device measures 1-1/2" long x 1/2” square, and comes with several loops for attaching it to different styles of glasses. Camera holds (100) pics or (6) 30-second videos, and the charging case can store (8000) pics and (90) videos. Has a 5MP sensor, and records in 720P at 30FPS. USB to USB-C charging cable included.

Indoor reception--always the safest choice. You know, in case it rains. But seriously, folks, do you love watching TV as much as we do? Pull in your digital and analog stations with this refurbished passive indoor antenna from RCA. It’s passive--just like TV-watching! Has a pair of 5-draw 39" dipole antennas (or do you say antennae?), a 7" x 4" loop and a 54" cord with a coax “F” connector to hook to your TV or receiver and pulls in HDTV, UHF, VHF and FM up to 1080i. Base is a compact 5" x 3-1/4" x 1-1/4" so it’ll fit pretty much anywhere and won’t hog space, unlike some pets on some couches.

It's like a tripod and monopod had a baby. Our tripod scores big on the four most important aspects of tripods. It’s lightweight, compact, tall and has three legs. Able to expand up to 6 feet, it has (4) telescoping points, each with their own lock. When folded up for storage it’s only 20-1/2” long and at 1.7lbs it's grab-and-go ready.  Though it doesn’t allow for pitch and roll, it does however allow for spinning horizontally 360 degrees.

Share tunes and movies with your significant other, or your insignificant other—your others are your business. Plug this 3.5mm headphone splitter into the jack on your chosen device, plug (2) headphone sets into the female ports on the splitter and listen your ears off. On a 7” long cord, the splitter comes in black, red, white or blue, and one of them will match your eyes, dog, car, hair or soul. So, we'll just pick (1) for you.

Not you, your phone. This little wireless charging disc measures 4” dia and has an LED indicator light. Includes a 3-foot USB to mini-USB to connect to a PC or adapter. Manufacturer says it will charge through most phone cases. Pat has one on his desk, and he can’t get enough of it.

Please Note: Jarvis says, check and make sure your phone is compatible with wireless charging.

These hands-free stereo headphones have a detachable mic and a one-touch phone answer button. Include (3) sizes of ear molds, a standard 3.5mm plug and a 6-foot cord. Work with phones, PCs, tablets, video games, and pretty much anything else you can plug into. We'll pick one in cerise or electric blue, and either one will make you look marvelous.

Sinatra had the same problem. Fix those popped Ps, and your vibrating mics, with this professional microphone shock mount. Isolates most condenser mics from physical vibration, floor and stand noise. Includes a 150mm (5.9”) dia pop filter, a cloth lining and an angle adjustment with a locking knob to fit any mic boom. From Symphaudio™, model PSMK-100. Made to fit mics with a dia of 21mm (0.83”), so check first. Check—one, two. Check—one, two.

Build your own quartz antenna. These (2) 4-3/8" x 3" x 1-5/16" plastic boxes each have (2) boxes of quartz crystals inside and (2) aluminum U-brackets that are attached to a single screw terminal on one short side of the box. Back in the early 70's, they were originally made to be used in pairs as part of a 300 Ohm antenna. Not sure if they will work with today's TV's but all you need is cabling to connect them and give it a try. Made in Brazil, the antenna capital of South America, probably.

This little package of take-out parts is from a marine public address system, but you don't really have to be on the water to use it. You'll get a 15K-Ohm handset mic (1/4" out) with an 11-foot cord partially coiled, an in-line level control with a telephone plug input, a mount for the mic and a 20-foot DIN-telephone plug cord.

A design triumph, this little (2-3/8" dia) Bluetooth remote speaker with built-in amp looks like a doorknob with a suction cup on the back. And it's water-resistant, so you can take it into the shower with you and never have to listen to yourself sing again. Stick it up within 30 feet of the source and it spits out your tunes. In plastic and rubber, it has an internal lithium battery, volume and answer controls, and a USB cord for charging the battery. We'll pick one in blue, black, or green, because we know what will go with your eyes.

The longest ear buds in all the land! A whopping 15 FEET long with a standard 1/8" jack.  We'll send (2) pair because we know you keep losing these things or ripping the wires off (although 15-foot leads may just take care of that little wire problem).
