Call "The Bit Connection", at 719 S. Harbor, Fullerton, CA 92632,

and Volts" magazine reads:

                            (CODs Welcome)
 
A friend of mine ordered these, and was quite happy with what he got.
(I, of course, would *never* have a need for such a thing :-).
 
(BTW, "Nuts & Volts" magazine is kind of interesting in its own right.
Its a pennysaver-type pub that deals in used and quasi-legitimate
electronics; kind of like a 'paper hamfest'. Contact # is 714-632-7721
(voice) 714-632-3041 (fax).
