<div dir="ltr"><div>This might be off topic, but I've been trying to test photocells myself recently in order to make up some vactrols for a 208. What kind of circuit would you use to test to the spec of the datasheet? Putting 10mA through a resistance of 1 megohm produces a ridiculous voltage drop, so I'm not sure how I'm supposed to 'bias' the photocell so I can test if it's response matches the datasheet.</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Apr 9, 2020 at 8:18 PM Crys <<a href="mailto:crystals@sonic.net">crystals@sonic.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

<div>Interesting I'll have to find that Vactrol. Electronic
Goldmine is well know for selling out of spec Vactrols in the
past. A lot of the stuff here is surplus from manufacturers
that's why they can sell them so cheaply. I still have a few
hundred dual leg Vactrols from their blow out sales...All with
different responses.</div>

<div dir="ltr">First time posting, so I'm not sure if I'm
sending this out right, but I also stumbled across a 3-lead

make some home-baked 5c3/2's.<br>

<div>Interesting. I tried to order some. Unfortunately
their payment processor is rejecting my cards due to
(incorrectly) failing AVS checks, and they
inexplicably don't allow Paypal for Australia.
Infuriating.</div>

<div>They need to bring their site forward at least 20
years. Limiting people to 10-character passwords is
awful (see: NIST guidelines) and also while I don't
have proof of this, based on the way their form flow
works, I suspect they're being very naughty and
storing credit card CVV info. This is absolutely not
allowed<br>

<div>Thanks for the heads-up, anyway.<br>
