Today we are tinkering in the basement or the garage - building things, fixing rather than discarding, curious in every respect. Alternately, today we are blitzed with electronic gadgets, cheap plastic "throwaway" appliances, computers, and hundreds of mail order catalogs, many offering the same gadgets. This first catalog is offered as an alternative, a collection of unique devices and machines not readily available at the local mall. Because of the specialized nature and sources, delivery of some of the items may be slow, and you will be advised immediately of our estimated shipping date, but remember, "Good things are worth waiting for." Finally, not wishing to "have it all", but rather to "plant the seeds", we have provided a resource guide for each catagory of interest, where you may obtain complete catalogs and more specialized items.

The "one-of-a-kind" section offers true collectors items. They represent an excuse, truth be known, to find, play with, clean up, overhaul, or just admire unique items for a while before we ship them to you. Hopefully, this is the first of many. Hopefully, I am not alone. I am looking forward to serving each one of you.

Shown below are pictures of some of the favorites in my life.

Sincerely, Clifford Schrock, Purveyor of Machinery
