Back To Dick's Gadget Warehouse, and how to submit your video to the show.

Hey Dick & Chad,

Here's an old gadget from my gadget warehouse. I got it from an Uncle, who around 4 years ago bought a business and wanted me to look at a laptop that was in the office. He never looked in the laptop case before bringing it to me, and when he found out it was over 20 years old, he said I could have it. Surprisingly it worked then, and after sitting in my closet for another 4 years, still turned on for my video:

I wanted to share this gadget, because I always remembered Zenith Electronics for their TVs and Stereos, but the Zenith Data Systems division was founded in 1979 after Zenith acquired the brand Heathkit, and they made computers until 1996, when they merged with Packard Bell and NEC.

Anyway, thanks for the great show, guys!

Jeremy

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 (favorite old, or favorite new): 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. 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. (After December 15, 2017, they'll be something else MAD sent with your Alfred E. Neuman photo. And unfortunately, after that date, we can only send to US addresses. MAD is moving to California, so our supplies will be greatly limited.)
