question how many parts ? could we possible get al the parts and put them
together our self's to create one for our self's
like from radio shack and just solder it all together I would think it could
not be that hard to make the board for it all we kneed is a part list and a
scymatick of the board and poof a little solder and it all be together if
there selling it of 29 bucks it probly cost 5 $ in parts I do not know just
a question and a idea
How many parts -
Well it has a small printed circuit about 1 inch square, on which there
is an 8 pin IC (haven't checked the part number against catalogs to see
what it is), a capacitor, a variable resistor, a double pole - centre
off toggle switch, two wires ending in a 9 volt battery connector, and
two wires with bare ends. It is a very simple thing obviously, and
you could no doubt buy the parts for less than $29 (but it will likely
be more than $5 for parts). Also, there is no schematic.
From my point of view, it is worth the price to have it already
assembled and ready to install. And that installation (if you do it
right the first time) should take less than 30 minutes. In brief -
cut off the old battery holder. Drill one hole in the side of the Telrad
for the switch, mount the switch in the hole (that supports the whole
unit), connect the two bare wires to the former battery wires using
the twist on connectors supplied, add a 9 volt battery, and voila.
Hope that answers the question.
Cheers - Al
