429.0. "Mail order home electronics repair parts" by RUNAWY::QUEDOT::DVORAK (dtn 297-5386) Thu Sep 27 1990 00:49

    I hope this info is appropriate for this file;  if not  I'll  delete it
    if the moderators wish.
    
    
    I just  got  a  catalog  from MCM electronics, 650 congress park drive,
    Dayton Ohio 45459.  1-800-543-4330.  I thought it was  unique because I
    had never found a convenient mail order source for many of these items.
    
    This catalog contains  all  sorts of electrical repair parts for common
    household objects.  For  example, they sell an extensive selection Home
    Alarm systems and components (both fire and intruder), Coax cable, Coax
    connectors, TV repair parts, Microwave oven  repair  parts (magnetrons,
    capacitors,  etc),  VCR  belts,  springs,  idler tires,  plulleys,  VCR
    alignment tapes, cassette player belts, cd player belts,  VCR heads, etc.
    etc.
    
    The prices for the belts, etc, seem very low.  I hope this  info  saves
    someone from being  scalped at a repair shop.

>>>>Whine<<<<

It seems like we're pushing the boundaries again, but particularly since this
contains information on burglar systems, and also on kitchen appliances, it
seems appropriate.  But the way we keep stretching the limits, it seems like 
the day isn't far off when we'll be asking about medical procedures for 
hamsters in here.

    Can anyone give me any info on how to perform a kidney transplant on a
    3-yr old hamster?
    
    (Sorry, Paul, I couldn't resist...;^)

    If the hamster is running your alternative_energy electric generator,
    it's pretty much burned out after two years, and you should just
    replace it. Besides, parts are hard to come by.

    I don't see why this note should be viewed any differently than the
    notes on Spags, Builders Square, Somerville Lumber, etc...  given
    the list of supplies the base noter mentioned.  When you're not in
    a hurry and know exactly what you want mail order catalogs can be
    a great time saver.

Spags keeps industrial hamsters behind the fishing tackle counter.
They're about the size of a woodchuck and can run an air shredder for
three years before they wear out.

    Yeah, but now that they've moved the tackle counter (to the sports
    shop)... I CAN'T FIND A D--NED THING!

    Just think of all the HOME_WORK notes that have been obsoleted in one
    swell foop.
    
    I hope Spag realizes the magnitude of his malicious destruction!
429.9MFGMEM::S_JOHNSONUnderdog: The MovieMon Oct 01 1990 16:513
I know.  Spag didn't even _consult_ with  us before making all these changes.

Oh well, Plumbing got re-orged a few years ago, and we got over it.

    yeah, but getting back to .1, does Spags sell hamsters?

I shoulda known better.  I really shoulda known better.

    Reply .5 says that they were kept behind the tackle counter, but I
    don't know if they moved to the sports shop along with the tackle.
    
    They may still be in that area though, along with things like welders
    and fans (bathroom, squirrel cage, etc.) -- take a look the next time
    you're down there.

    To the moderators:
    
    Could you please change the title of this note to 
    
    " The hamster and kidney note".
    
    then, since  the  base  note  will  not reflect the topic at hand, just
    delete it and you will be all set.

    Oh, and next  time I run across some useful information, I'll just put
    it in the air shredder note.

Re: .13

The light-duty household hamsters are stocked with the sqirrel cage
fans.  The Industrial hamsters are by the garden weasels and the beaver board.
