Those are wall warts that are not attached to specific pieces of

tested wall warts. There are two more boxes ... another 4 large
boxes at home and a small box in the vehicle.

Time for a purge.


NO! The first one you discard, is the next one you need!
.... nothing but an original unit will ever connect to some
devices (my old HP-34C calculator comes to mind).

Sorting by output voltage, though, would improve the utility
of the boxes. And you can paint those boxes in bright colors
so they do double duty as decoration...
