I'm looking to acquire a "ringer" magneto (the kind of hand-cranked A-C generator once employed to generate the ringing voltage on field phones. Has anybody seen one of these advertized by a surplus outfit? Once, these were common items from rural phone modernizations and surplused military field phones, but I haven't seen one in some years. Oh, by the way, the reason I want one is to make a worm gathering aid.

American Science Center, 5?00 North Northwest Highway, Chicago IL. This store is just like Edmond Science. I have seen the Magneto hand cranked generators there. As I remember, they are expensive. There is another store directly next door that sells military surplus. I think the name is "Jimco" or "Jamesco". Ted G.
