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.

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.

Just because your radio is square doesn’t mean your music is. Actually, this radio is a cube. It’s also transparent, letting you can see the electronics inside. Antenna extends to 9” and picks up both AM and FM frequencies. Has a 3.5mm headphone jack on one side, easy to use tuning and volume/power dials on the other, and a big mesh-covered speaker on the front. Cube sides are 3” each. Requires (2) “AA” batteries, not included, but available. Comes in a clearish transprarent plastic shell.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
