Dave-

My subject line included a question mark; I wasn't making a
declaration, I was posing a query...

Radio Shack sold these cleaning kits for years for, what, $5.95?
Now, and I don't know, perhaps RS doesn't sell them anymore. I
don't have a Jameco catalog handy to check, though I could look
at a Global catalog... at any rate, I'm wondering whether this
might have been a typo that the seller didn't catch...
