*or maybe not so high tech now...

GREAT. I got into electronics in 1942 as a hobby. When solid state stuff
started out if I recall the 555 chip was about $150.00. A few years went by
before I could afford one when the prices came down. Now About 20 cents.
Will ask our youngest son if he will make a smaller one from a block of
aluminum on his CNC mill. WW
