More Remote Power Switches!

[Davester]

A while back I posted about using remote power switches for my arcade games.
1. I hate reaching behind the games to plug them in/turn them on.
2. Thunderstorm has an awesome PLC to power on his game room (that I have no ambition/money to install).

I originally bought a remote unit with 3 wall modules at Walmart for about $35. (plugged in the MAME, Jukebox and Driving game.)

Well, I was at Costco yesterday and they have a unit that includes 3 remote modules that have 2 outlets each and have a higher wattage rating for $17.99.

So for under 20 bucks, you can remotely turn on up to 6 games!

I'll be checking out Costco today, thanks for the heads up. Hopefully they have these in London too.

I found them in the Xmas lights isle at the Kitchener location.

Good luck hunting!

I have two sets from Costco. The older ones have three buttons and you must select that button each time to turn on and off.The newer ones have an on and off for each wall outlet switcher. The work well for the games.

Grabbed a couple from Costco south London. Thanks for the heads up. Yes they were in the seasonal section too.

Just at the Costco in Kitchener... if you missed out, they are now down to $10!

Not sure if you can run more than 3 at a time though.

Can they be found on the Costco website ?
Does anyone have a picture of the packaging, I'd like to go look tomorrow.

Thanks

Just back from Costco Ajax...no dice.
Could not find anything seasonal, and cause it was near close I could not find any associate that even had a clue what I was talking about.
I'm pissed, these sound like an AMAZING cost effective option. I was looking into smart outlets, but that would be $80 for my 4 machines.
Anyone by chance going to check the Scarborough Costco ?

Basically this is what they look like... the package is different because one of the 3 units can be used outdoors and is coloured black.
Each module has two outlets.

Happened to have the day off today.
Wife and I were heading out to Vaughn Mills so I popped into Costco Scarborough.
THEY HAD TONS! Also clearing out for the $10.
So I picked up two sets (6 outlets).
Hoping to set them up shortly.

Thanks

EDIT - thanks for the lead on these guys. I picked up 2 packs from Warden Costco (Scarborough) (Wish I got more!) - Changed my BIOS in my 2 MAME PC's to boot from power loss. I'm loving these ! Everything is working perfect. Really cool, simple, cost effective lil man cave trinket. LOVE EM!
