Dick's Gadget Warehouse & How to Submit Your Viewer Video.

Here's the email that arrived with our viewer video link:

Hi Dick & Chad: Here is an item from my gadget warehouse that I used quite a bit over the years. After recording the video I noticed that if I would have just looked at the license plate it told me the year of the Corvette is 1963.

 

Anyway here is my 1963 Corvette VHS tape rewinder:

I do not remember exactly how much I paid for it.I remember that the generic tape rewinders were much cheaper but this one was a “GM Licensed” 1963 Corvette so it did cost me around $50.00 I think.

 

Anyway, love the show! I think it is even better then when it was on TWIT! Ryan Winkler

We’re looking for more Viewer Videos! We’d love to include your video in an upcoming Giz Wiz Show, so here's what we're looking for! Your home shot video – 2 to 3 minutes long, in any of the following categories:

 

I bought a piece of crap: Did you buy something you ended up hating? We won't get you a refund, but we might be able to give a platform to vent your disappointment. Remember, "family friendly" language applies.

 

I invented this! Did you invent something? (Or did a friend or relative invent something.) We can't market it for you, but we can help get the word out. Show us what it is, and how it works. Even if it's a prototype, you can get our (and the audience) reactions. No professional ads please.

 

My Gadget Warehouse: Okay, so you don't have a warehouse. It doesn't matter. Just tell us about your favorite old gadget(s). When and where you bought it, and why you're still hanging on to it.

 

My Favorite Gadget of All Time: Show us what it is, tell us what it does and why you love, or loved it! It can be a new gadget you just bought too. 

 

Post them on YouTube and send us the link! We'll do the rest. (Or possibly nothing, but that's unlikely.) Remember, videos should be just 2 to 3 minutes long! Low production value is fine, but we should be able to hear you and see you! If we select and show your video on The Giz Wiz you’ll a tiny amount of fame (hopefully), an autographed MAD magazine and a 35-year-old Alfred E. Neuman picture. So that's one more (so-so) reason to send in your video! IMPORTANT: We'll just shower you with praise for your video if you live outside the US or Canada since we can't afford to send stuff outside of those two places. (Thanks for understanding.)

 

All show submissions go to mail@gizwiz.tv

Chris Rogers Subject: Wine enthusiast champagne recorker

Hey Chad I found your crappy corner gadget online and it's a bit more expensive than the one you showed in the show.
