I’m contemplating the build of an LA-2A. CJ’s simplified LA-2B, as a matter of fact.
In looking over the components and their pricing/availability, it’s obvious that T4B is going to be my main concern. After searching through the information around here, I have contacted ADL and DripElectronics, as they are supposed to offer replacements. ADL wanted $250 and Drip hasn’t replied yet (been a week). ADL’s figure is about what I’d spend on all the other components…
I’ve found the diy vactrol half-assed version, which I’ll probably do as an interim solution. I’ll get everything else built up first, and make any adjustments or work out any bugs. Might even be a cool thing to be able to swap in for certain applications…
The best possible solution that I see would be to build my own T4B. I’m fine with this, but here is my problem: I don’t have the means to test LDRs. On CJ’s site, he explains in detail the work needed to match LDRs and to find examples with the spec’d decay times. So, how can I overcome this?
How bad could it turn out if I just used whatever comes in the mail?
Would someone consider the sale of some tested and matched LDRs?
CJ?
