BEAM READY HOMAGE TO REED GHAZALA

Well, special thanks to Reed Ghazala, who sent me some really killer cold war era military surplus lamps. The big one says BEAM READY, and the smaller one has the atomic symbol, hence the name. Enjoy

Mike....is that you?

[SonofCastille]

who ARE you?

[SonofCastille]

it's an lED chaser kit( I used an 8 segment display instead of actual LEDS) combined with a small "optical" Theremin) It uses IR leds instead of the photocells. oh, there is an audio amp circuit as well!

Thanks

You make such neat stuff! Love those old panel indicators with mechanical shutter dimmer caps.

i must say all your builds are splendind. unfortunately i cant think of a possible application other than pure aesthetics for any of these. would you mind explaining to me what the use of a box tht produces squelches and beeps is for (other than the sheer awesomness and scifi/steampunk value they all hold)

[3rdness]

This is excellent! What's the circuit in there?

thanks a lot!
