Quad Power

The Quad XP-581 from Elenco provides four separate, fully regulated power supplies. Three are fixed and yield +5 VDC at 3 amps, -12 VDC at 1 amp, or +12 VDC at 1 amp. The fourth supply is variable, producing 2.5 to 20 volts of DC output at up to 2 amps. Line and output voltages are regulated to within 0.05 volts, and the supply is linear. All four supplies are shortproof as well. A current foldback circuit in each supply collapses the field in the event of a short, a current surge from the line, or an excessive current demand. Thus, both the Quad XP-580 and the equipment it's driving are normally protected from inadvertent errors or power company problems. Elenco built the supply as only Elenco will. The handsome, hooded metal case, - measuring 3-1/4" x 8-1/4" x 9-1/4" and weighing nine pounds - has a 3-wire grounded power cord for 115 VAC operation, panel meters for both current and voltage, and standard jacks for accessing the four regulated supplies. A two-year limited warranty and schematic is also included.

Adapting to AC-Surplus Transformations

There is an entire class of transformers that surplus dealers call "AC Adapters." What we really mean is transformers that plug directly into the wall (primary voltage 110 VAC), and via a cord and/or plug provide various levels of output current at variou s voltages. It is a rare buyer of surplus that gets the plug configuration he/she wants, and many get snipped off (plugs that is). They are handy power supplies, battery charging units, substitutes for batteries in toys and games, or for providing safe il lumination to models and displays. Be sure to note whether the output is AC or DC (Direct Current, like a battery) and whether it can provide enough current for your application. Unless otherwise noted, all are suitable for indoor use only. Stick with us and you'll get the hang of adapting to AC...and at much lower prices than your friendly appliance/game/computer/calculator shop asks. Unless otherwise noted, all adapters are for 115 volt AC primaries, and all have about 6 ft. cords. (MA=Milliamp) (A=Ampere) (VDC= Volts DC) (VAC= Volts AC).

Chuck Buddy

Every 3/8" power drill's best friend. It has a black plastic cone that will fit over a standard chuck with the drill bit for a pilot hole still chucked in place. On the end of the cone is a steel tube with a tip to hold a standard 1/4" screwdriver bit. Leave the driver in the buddy and slip it on and off the chuck to change quickly and easily between drilling pilot holes and driving wood screws. That's what friends are for.

Sew What?

We've had our eye on this macho needle kit. It includes (7) steel needles: (1) 1-3/4" for leather, (1) 1-3/4" for carpet, (1) 2-1/4" for sails, (2) 3" needles, one for packing and one for canvas, and (2) 2-1/8" dia curved needles, one for mattresses and one for lampshades. All right. So maybe you can use the lampshade needle to sew up softballs. May we suggest you stick these on one of our magnets, so you always know where they are?

Knowledge is power - in this case, battery power. You'll know from the easy-to-read gauge on this black-plastic handheld mini-tester whether a battery is good, low or needs to be replaced. The 4-1/4" x 2-3/8" x 1" testor reads "AAA," "AA," "C," "D," 9 volt, 1.5 volt button, and other sizes.

Mini Air Compressor

Nifty device that takes maxi air and squeezes it down into a mini condition. The device is roughly 6-1/2"" long x 6" tall x 4" wide. It has a 10 ft. cord that plugs into an auto lighter socket: i.e. it runs on 12VDC @ 10 amps. Air output is via a 12" hose with a variety of valve adapters for tires, soccer balls, rubber rafts, and just dusting off the environment. Complete with a 0-250 psi gauge. Which should be plenty of pressure to explode a weak bike tire or flimsy beach ball, so please be careful!

23271 AIR COMPRESSOR, 12 VDC
$14.95 EACH
