Radio Shack Wire-Wrapping Tool

"Richard Erlacher" <richard(a)idcomm.com> said: What happened, did everyone throw away their electric wire wraping guns??? I still have mine. :-> With it's power cord it's too big to misplace, what I keep losing is the unwrapping tool. Does this tool (P/N: 276-1570A) have a unwrapping tool at one end?? "Zane H. Healy" <healyzh(a)aracnet.com> said: I was just in a Radio Shack to pick up two sets of mono phono plugs (earphone,microphone,remote) to build my own Sorcerer dual cassette cable. Now I remembered that on cassette recorders, the earphone and the microphone plug are the same size and the remote is smaller. But I couldn't remember the sizes, so since the saleman was in my face to help, I ask if he could show me a cassette recorder. I wanted to compare the size of the jacks to the plugs. He show me several, they only had earphone jacks. I said don't you have any cassette recorders? It took him a couple of minutes to find one, but it had no remote jack!!! All this time, he kept asking "what is it you want to record", and I would say "computer data". Ten second seconds later he would ask again. In between he would say "Oh, we would not have anything like that!" Again I scolded myself for going to Radio Shack without knowing exactly what I wanted. So if you have a cassette recorder with a remote jack, hang on to it, "it's a good thing". --Doug =================================================== Doug Coward dcoward(a)pressstart.com (work) Sr Software Engineer mranalog(a)home.com (home) Press Start Inc. http://www.pressstart.com Sunnyvale,CA Visit the new Analog Computer Museum and History Center at http://www.best.com/~dcoward/analog ===================================================
