Are the t4 parts going to be easily available? Supplier?

There are a few guys on here that sell t4bs, but all you'll need is the el panel and ldrs.
I will not be supplying these parts.

 

[Ptownkid]

Ok, you lost me here...what do you mean you'll only need the EL panel and LDR's?

LDR = Light dependent resistor. That's all I know.

No big can, no pcb..... just the Light Dependent Resistors and ElectroLuminscent panel.

So what keeps the EL panel from being affected by outside light?

So what keeps the EL panel from being affected by outside light?

The fact that it's in a box?

 

[zayance]

On picture page 3 i can see some Diyed box, maybe i'm wrong?

 

[Ptownkid]

Is there indeed a box around there, I can't tell...

Does anyone with experience have a ballpark of how many LDR's one would go through in order to match them? What did you do Peter? Did you gut and actual t4b?

 

[jsteiger]

...What did you do Peter?

Knowing Peter, he started with the eye of newt and toe of frog. Next came the electronic component gizmo's.

I took apart my CJ matched T4B.... bollox to matching stuff myself.
I was hoping that the guys offering the t4bs would sell the necessary bits, sans can and pcb.

What you see in that pic is some black tape around the 2 pcbs that make the t4b.
The vactrol chunk is now dumped, so there is now just one pcb sitting above  the ldrs... with a black foam gasket to keep out any light that might creep through the vents in a lunchbox.

I'll post pix as soon as I charge some batteries.

Baby puke and old socks.

 

[strangeandbouncy]

    Baby puke AND old socks? It'll never catch on . . . .

[horvitz]

At least that stuff is easier to source than eye of newt!
