What's New?

 
 
Shipping to Canada
 

February 15, 2013
We have had numerous complaints from our customers in Canada regarding a mysterious (and costly) "Brokerage fee" assessed by UPS and FedEx when orders are delivered.  All future shipments to Canada (unless otherwise directed by the customer) will be via the postal system, priority service. Our Canadian shipping policy is here.

 
Revised pricing for Overhauls
 

February 1, 2013
We have simplified pricing of our overhaul services. Minor repairs and replaced parts are now included as part of the overhaul price. Please see our overhaul page and the respective order forms for details about each product.

 
Match Timer for Science Bowl

 

November 1, 2012
We've developed a timer that manages the timing in Science Bowl competitions -- where both the total time for the match and each question are important. Click here for more information.

 

 
Pushbutton Cables: custom lengths available
July  1, 2011:
Our handheld pushbutton is now available with custom-length 18AWG cord... any length up to 50ft (the stock length is 5ft). These durable 18AWG cords are terminated with a molded RCA plug.

Custom-length cords are very useful in applications where extension cords would be inconvenient or costly.

Prices for custom-length cables are listed on this order form (click here).

 
We now Accept American Express
May 1, 2011:
In response to customer demand, we have added American Express to the charge cards we accept.
 
One Year Warranties extended to Two Years
August 1, 2009:
We design all of our products for maximum durability and reliability. Our latest products: 4-in-1, Traditional, 10-Player, 1-2-3, and Tabletop Timer
have exceeded even our reliability expectations. Therefore, we are doubling the warranty on these products from ONE year to TWO years. As a courtesy to customers who have purchased these products, the warranties for their purchases will automatically be two years.
 
Tabletop Timer: compatible with all buzzers
May 1, 2009:
Our popular tabletop timer is now compatible with all of our buzzer systems. Customers wishing to upgrade older models (traditional, 10-player, and 4-in-1) should refer to the "replacement parts" order form for their product.
 
10-Player Buzzer System
September 4, 2007:
We are introducing a new product called "the 10-player system", a super-economical and ultra-durable system for 10 players. One coach recently called this "a game in a box... perfect for practice".  Complete information is available here.
 
1-2-3 Buzzer System
September 4, 2007:
We are introducing a new buzzer system that gives users the flexibility to see who buzzed in first AND who buzzed in second and third!  We're calling this system the 1-2-3.  Complete information is available here.
 
2007 Price Review
August 1, 2007:
As a regular part of our business, we review our prices on August 1st of each year. We are happy to announce that we will have no price increases this year!
