Great news! I have used one of these for years at work. A couple of years ago, after I retired, I moved and in the move it got lost along with a bunch of other things. I just "assumed" that it was no longer available from Radio Shack (as I said, I've had one for years) and never bothered to look for a replacement. Now I can order a replacement "post haste". Thanks, Tom
