Disco is back, you wild and crazy boomer, but this time with a 9/16” dia light-up, bug-eye hemispheric lens that flashes red, green and blue LEDs in sync with ambient music when you plug it into your laptop, or anything else that takes a USB. Comes with adapters for Android and iPhones, so wherever you go, it’s party time. Also works for Gen Whatevers who want to see what it was like when the ’rents thought they were hip. We’ll pick one with a pink, white or green base because it doesn’t matter.

Ten-packs of 2-pin breakouts (or terminal blocks) from telephone junction boxes, in black or gray with red and green leads that terminate in a modular plug. The breakouts measure 11/16" wide x 5/8" high x 3/4" deep. The screw terminals are 1-1/4" long and the modular plug jumper reaches about 2-3/8" when snapped into its clip.

By jiminy. A little jumper cord with a modular plug on one end and flat "T" connectors on the other side at the end of dual leads. Wires are insulated, with 3-1/2" of the 7" length covered by a telephone-wire-style gray jacket.

Our 4-1/2" long x 2" wide x 1" deep cell phones fit nicely in this black-leather carrying case. The front is a 2-1/2" x 1-5/8" window of clear plastic through which you can press the buttons. The case is open on the bottom so you can access the ports, and comes with a 6" wrist strap and a plastic belt/pocket clip. A small strap snaps over the phone antenna to keep it from slipping out. Unfortunately, if your phone doesn't have an external antenna, there is nothing to keep it in except a snug fit, an extraordinarily rigid posture, and a determination to never bend over.

This 7-foot length of standard 4-wire gray telephone cord has a modular plug on each end and an in-line 1-1/2" x 1" dia interference blocking RF filter at one end. 'Nuff said.

One too many jerks on your phone? Fix that loose connection with a new telephone cord. Our replacement set includes (1) 80" wall-to-phone line cord and a matching 16" coiled handset cord that extends to approx 6 feet, with modular plugs on both ends of both cords. The sets are forest green, white, taupe, light blue, dark blue, and whatever shows up next. Our choice, but we'll give you (4) sets in at least (2) different colors, at a price that will ring your bell.

Our phone headsets all have swing-up mics with a windscreen, adjustable headbands and padded ear-pieces. The 4-foot cords terminate in a 5-pin DIN plug. (Orienting the plug with the pins on the bottom, the two left pins are 35-ohm, probably for the speaker; the middle pin is not active; and the two right pins are 2K, we think for the mic.) You pick the left-ear set or the adjustable set, which will fit either left or right ears.

This padded earpiece has a 46" cord, nice little padded ear gripper to keep it from falling out, an extra ear pad, an inline answer switch and a pivoting microphone like all the football coaches wear. Made for Nokia, it has a non-standard 3mm TRRS Nokia plug, but could be rewired with another size plug by anyone with minimal motivation and soldering skills.

Take care of your screens and they'll take care of you. (A drill sergeant told us this about our socks once, but this time it's true.) This kit includes (3) wet and (3) dry anti-static wipes, a 7" x 4-1/2" microfiber cleaning cloth, and (6) self-adhesive clear vinyl screen protectors at 3-1/2" x 2-3/4" with a grid on the back to help cut them to size, and a little plastic thingy to squoogee the air bubbles out.

In fact, put (2) USBs in your buggy with this cigarette-plug adapter that converts to two standard USB outlets with a 2.1 Amp output so you and your passenger can get recharged together. We’ll pick one in a color that will either complement or contrast with your dashboard, and your eyes.
