Go to one of the many retail shops where the hair shops get their supplies from. You can buy the blades per box or by a case. Cheap also.

Most barbers use them and can sell to you or tell you where to go.

Hope this helps

So what's a safe currency to be in these days vis-a-vis the baht? By safe, I mean hold its value or even appreciate?

The Braniac K-30!!!

"The rotary switch rotors held shorting staples which could be crimped into pairs of holes. Connections to the backplane were made by bent pieces of brass, held by screws, pairs of which got shorted together as the staples came in contact with them. The whole arrangement got pretty dodgy as the number of circuits on a switch increased. The bent brass pieces either got mangled or failed to make a connection. But it was entertaining, nonetheless. The most complicated example in the guidebook was a circuit that played a decent game of tic-tac-toe." (parallax.com)

I confess I never got it to play tic-tac-toe. Fact, I can't remember what I got it to do, if anything. It was an Xmas present around 1960 and could hardly compete w/ more dramatic toys you ride, drive, and shoot.

I did mess around w/ it tho. It was quite mysterious and VERY hi-tech. Posted Image
