Good Afternoon Gentlemen,
This is Jeff and Adam with another gadget warehouse video. This time it is sort of a follow-up to a letter from Mo and the old telephone that Chad has on his shelf behind him. Recently I purchased an old rotary phone from a garage sale and wanted it to work but with a slight twist. I purchased the “Cell2Jack“ device that enables any landline phone to work as a Bluetooth handset. In order to make it work I needed to order an RJ11 adapter to make the old wiring work with a standard phone Jack as well a portable micro USB-C charger – (sorry Chad I know how much you dislike micro USB-C chargers). Please enjoy the video enclosed along with the item from EBay.

Take care, Jeffrey Slomovitz

We’d love to include your video in an upcoming Giz Wiz Show! 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 earn a tiny amount of fame (hopefully). And if you live in the US, you’ll also get an autographed 38+ year old Alfred E. Neuman picture and a MAD surprise (most likely the current issue of MAD.) But no matter where you live outside of US, I can autograph an Alfred E. Neuman photo to you, scan it & email you a high res copy if we show your video. Just print it out, frame it, or just hang it up and no one will know it’s a copy. We’ve tested it out and fans say they look terrific! If you submitting warehouse videos for a second, third time, etc., you’ll get the current issue of MAD as a thank you.
All show submissions go to mail@gizwiz.tv

A “What the heck is it?” question From Michael Prine
I have a gadget for the what the heck is it segment but not sure how I should shoot the video. Should I show it and then say to pause the video and wait a few seconds before explaining what it is?
The Giz Wiz & Chad answer: Yes, shoot the video with the What The Heck The Heck Gadget, say something like: “I’ll give you ten seconds to come with a guess” — and then make the reveal. The gadget should be a whole gadget as it’s sold, not a piece of a gadget.
