MikeB	Re: Mutron III photocell substitute The Qtron has a small black tube, with no markings (at least the one I opened up) with 6 legs, 2 for the LED and 4 for the LDR(s). With a normal red LED, and two LDRs that have a fast response, have minimum resistance of about 10k and max from 500k to a meg, you'll get pretty close. I doubt there is anything too special about the bits in the "black tube", it is just nicely packaged. MikeB
