Hi gang,
I just got a new catalog from a zany outfit called American Science &
Surplus.
They have some stuff of interest to us:
23162 Radiosonde $10
26392 Copper Tape 18 yds x 1/2 in $2.50
23273 Wire Stripper $3.25
26000 Battery holder for 10 C cells $3.00
25939 Grain of Rice Lamp 1.5v @ 15ma 2/$2.00
26272 Ferrite core 2" od, 1" id, 1.9" long (chipped) $2.25
26329 Tin box 5.5 x 7.5 x 2.5 2/ $2.00
25618 Steel Project box 6 x 8 x 3 (some parts inside)
(some kind of automotive thing made by Delco) $3.50
89974 Laser Tin (Altoids like box w/ diffraction grating on top) $3.95
and lots of tools and wierd stuff at so-so prices. Much of this is
made in China (slave labor?), FWIW
It was the copper tape that caught my eye. Picture two 1" x 10' PVC
pipes
wound with 1/2" copper foil tape spaced about 1/4"...
Use that 1.5v lamp in the oscillator circuit that appeared in QEX two
months ago...
That ferrite core is humongous- but cheap enough to play with.

Usual disclaimers- I got some stuff from them years ago. Not well
packed (fragile
item broken), but it was what they said it was, and some of their items
I have not seen
elsewhere.
