Title: Alternate LDR for Double Flush
Post by: bigstomper on February 20, 2011, 11:55:11 PM
Getting ready to build up my Double Flush board and already have a few LDR's on hand and was wondering if any of them would work in this circuit.  I HAVE a VTL5C2 and a NSL-32.  The schematic calls for VTL5C1.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks!

I am also in the same boat, want to build one up, and have 9 NSL-32s in my collection of parts, as i had to buy ten for another build.. so i guess this is a bump..

or did you get it going with the nsl32 in the end?

last one I did I did a roll your own with the Tayda cheapo LDR. Seemed to work just fine.

From Rapid, not Tayda.

The NSL-32SR3 didn't work well, it was too choppy, and couldn't be dial out.  Much too responsive.

I've built one with the VTL5C1 and one with a Tayda photocell, both worked, the only problem with the Tayda photocell is you don't get the response out of the Intensity knob that you do with VTL.

My bad, thought that was a tayda on  :-[

I used an NSL32 and it sounds great and works well in all settings.
