Many thanks for that

I think that the 4093 are in store items the caps and resistors shouldn't be a problem so will settle for your advice.

Would you use a phototransistor?

Edit... any type of NPN. Transistor for the optional output?

Yes, choose one thats IR sensitive, with built in ambient light filter [ a black looking one] and a matching IR emitter LED.

Ambient light leakage can cause problems in a P/T detector.
Regards wombweller

The LED flasher transistor is just a general purpose NPN capable of 30mA at 25V
Hope this helps.

sorry a bit off topic but you being an ex Rotherhamer do you know of the company Gregory Marshall.Just that I have a Roth. clock with that name on the dial.It will be an old company as the clock is late 1800's - early 1900's

Just a thought but not found anything just yet on it.

Hi,
Cant remember hearing the name before, just done a Google all I can find is

It seems Marshall was a common name in clock making.

Rotherham museum has records in their clock section that may help.

Hi Jim,

Used to act out my boyhood dreams in the ruins of Conisborough Castle, of being 'Ivanhoe' when I was a boy back in the 1940's.

Do you remember the boating lake near the castle?

I understand it all been refurbished by National Heritage and you have to pay to get in!,,, its the 'barcode' society.

wombweller · Sep 15, 2007

WOW!! I can't believe it.

We get the world wide web in our hands and we end up in south Yorkshire

I am very happy to see all this local activity and knowladge.

Salt of the earth people
