About Magicland Electronics

While we sell a wide variety of electronic parts and kits, we specialize in stocking electronic parts and kits used in the books Snowball Launchers, Giant-Pumpkin Growers and Other COOL CONTRAPTIONS and Programming and Customizing the HC11 Microcontroller as well as in the Workshop Columns in Boys' Quest and Fun For Kidz magazines. We also have complete kits for the Jumper Cable Wizard, which helps insure a safe jump start of an automobile, truck or tractor and we have high quality bare printed circuit boards, and sensors, for the Smart Room A/C Controller which uses the Picaxe Microcontroller. With this controller you can make a relatively inexpensive walk-in cooler. It can also form the heart of many other projects such as a super-intelligent cooling/heating thermostat for exceptional comfort and energy reduction.

If you are thinking of ordering parts or kits from us we highly recommend that you first check out our Ordering Help page. This page was designed to make our order procedure crystal clear to even first time Internet users.

The Story Behind Magicland Electronics

The first tiny seed of Magicland Electronics was planted in 1975 when Tom Fox started TR Electronics, a mail order supplier of electronic parts for electronic construction articles written by him. In 1977, the name TR Electronics was changed to Magicland when it diversified to include the sale of vegetables and fruits he and his family grew on their farm. To keep the two businesses separate, two divisions of Magicland were soon formed -- Magicland Farms and Magicland Electronics. For those who want to find more information about Magicland Farms, including information on their delectable Magic Bi-Color sweet corn or their famous green and yellow beans, or their twenty types of tomatoes, including Green Zebra, along with their 100+ varieties of apples or other oodles of other yummy stuff, visit our website!
