[sdiy] News about the Compact Clone: LDRs

[JH.]

I've made a lot of listening tests with a new LDR, and after changing the 
capacitor values slightly, I got excellent results.

The LDR is the Perkin Elmer M 9960 11A.
Thats the same Flat Pack size as the one I tested before, but the "A" type 
has the right resistance.

It's rather unexpensive, and the form factor is very good for arranging 
these LDRs around the incandescent lamps.

I see it coming that it may be hard to buy in small quantities around the 
world (in Germany, they *are* available).

I never wanted to go into the component selling / kits business, but maybe I 
can make an exception for these LDRs if you want me to sell them along with 
the boards. The reason is, they are *flat*, and will fit easily into a 
padded envelope together with the bare PCBs.

What I won't do is selling some boards with, and some boards without LDRs. 
I'll either sell the boards + 8 LDRs to *everyone*, or I'll just sell the 
boards.

What is the general preference in that question?

The 8 LDRs would be about 10 Euros (for all 8 of them).
