Fountain Connection
Decidedly clever little gizmo, reminiscent of our ever popular Tornado Tube. It consists of a plastic sleeve into which one screws two empty 2-liter soda bottles. Inserted into this connecting tube are two clear plastic "straws", one extending toward the bottom of each bottle. Fill one bottle 3/4 full of water, colored if you like, invert the duo, and watch water spew from the top end of the top "straw". It's all because of the vacuum created as water drains from one bottle to the other, and is a good physics demonstration item. But it looks as though the water defies gravity. Amaze everyone at your next party! Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys a "Tornado Tube".

Hole Liner
Heyco #SB-625-500 hard black plastic grommet. Split down the side, it is 11/16" OD, 1/2" ID to fit a 5/8" dia hole. It is 17/32" long OA with a small flange at one end, and a snap positioned 9/32" back on the shaft. Sounds about right for a 1/4" thick panel to us.

CD Rackette
Called "Hang 10" (groan) by the manufacturer, it is a grey plastic rack that will hold (10) CDs hanging on... With screw holes and mounting tape you can hang it and its load most anywhere you please. The holder is 2-1/2" x 11", but loaded it probably needs at least a 4" x 12" space. Call it "handy", call it "clever", just don't call it "Hang 10". Okay?

World Dimmers
Okay, polarizing filters for the literal minded. Each filter is a 20 mm dia x 2 mm think piece of glass with a couple of tiny slots in the edge. Each has 20% transmission by itself, which may not sound like much, but is about what you get through decent sunglasses. We are selling a pair so you can do experiments on transmission as you rotate one against the other to reduce the light getting through virtually to nothing. Or you can make some very cool granny sun glasses if that turns you on. The big guys get upwards of $7.00 per filter for these dudes!! Isn't surplus cool??

Scrubber
A handle free scrubber like those used for vegetables. It is 4-1/2" x 2-1/2" x 1-1/2" with the 3/4" long natural (?) fibers coming out of a figure eight shaped wire core. Very handy for scrubbing things like bathtubs. Or legs in the sauna. Or aluminum canoes. Or windows.

Lampless Lava
Clear acrylic sealed tube, 3-1/8" dia x 8" tall, divided into two equal chambers. The dividing wall has a hole in the center, and the tube has a quantity of viscous violet goo (glycerin?) in it that fills one chamber about 3/4 full. Stand the tube on end with the full chamber up, and over a 10 minute period the goo will ooze from the upper to the lower chamber, blowing bubbles and dribbling droplets in the process, all in slow motion. The action is somewhat reminiscent of a lava lamp, without the heat and light, and with a mixed air and goo chamber that yields much more interesting patterns. Mesmerizing, disgusting, fascinating, soothing. If you only need a little soothing you may want to try the same thing in a smaller size: 2-1/8" diameter x 4-7/8" tall. It comes in a variety of colors from which we will choose yours.

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.

Make Your Paycheck Look Bigger
Magnifiers with dual lenses and transparent acrylic stands; place them above the objects you wish to scrutinize and the focus takes care of itself. The Lumiloupe 10x magnifier is 1-3/4" high, with a 2" dia. base and a 1-1/2" dia top, so it is best suited for stamps, coins, film, and the like. The Lumiloupe 5x magnifier is 2-1/2" high x 4-1/4" base x 3-1/4" at the top, a fine size for botany, entomology, or cartography.
