All I’ve ever wanted is for the Revolution to knock on my door in need of a weird cable.

Photo of just some of the shelves with labeled bins containing weird cables.

"But sir! Where would we possibly get our hands on 12 VGA-to-DVI connectors?!"

I'm so impressed by the organization.

I'm intrigued by the "USB WEIRD" label.

I have a USB->GBA SP cable that I have no idea where it came from. It probably came out of that box.

I have old game consoles. One cable for the USB weird pile was the odd Y cable for data and charging for a PSP

GBA SP charging cable? Or data cable? It it's a date cable is likely for transferring Pokémon and whatnot via a trainer program on a pc or something? Just a wild guess

Charging cable. It's definitely some 3rd party thing, but again, no clue where I got it

The movie prop companies are going to knock on your door.
