   I think your photos and descriptions would be best found on the web pages
of the parts sellers like Mouser, Digikey, Allied, Newark and others.
Substitution ideas would best come from your friends on these lists, if you
are unfamiliar.

    Ron  KA4INM - Even though they raised the rate for first class mail in the United
                  States every May, we really shouldn't complain -
