They say these things come in threes.
I'm going out for a pint. At least I should manage that without getting the glass the wrong way up Here's hoping for a better tomorrow....

I, too, have been out. I feel that I need fresh air or something because one of the local cheap jack shops is selling cards of 20 AA batteries- for the princely sum of £1 with a penny change
I've got a set of AAA's for the same price and a heap of assorted titchy things that I stick in my ears or drive my best all glittering solid gold watch- for a couple of years.The cards- in this case- cost a penny more. Naturally,I'm looking for a discount as I am an old age pensioner.
In a further whimsical way, the French call 'batteries' Pile Wonders.
Anyone know if they work :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hello Everyone,
This thread sparked more than a memory, it reminded me of a long forgotten project started when I was 16 ...
In answer to previously answered Q's, yes there is a timing specific for each size battery: AAA, AA, C, D
I remember that I found an expensive, but accurate timer cct, based around a ZN1034E 14-pin dil.
I have just purchased the original EE Mag dated Sept '91 from ebay, and will post again.
~~#{Kudos for original publisher, he will be named}#~~
With regs to the ZN1034E timer cct. I will post later.
Cheers
D
PM me if u want; I will post any personal fixes tho...

Hi Andromedac
Welcome to Mad Modders
I remember the Ferranti ZN1034E being in a number of photographic timer projects in
various magazines
today I guess it will be cheaper to use the CD4060 oscillator/ divider plus some additional logic or a PIC chip if you can program it
Ferranti used to make a number of usefull devices
the only ones I can remember using are the ZN1066 in switch mode power supplies , ZN1040 4 digit counter / display driver , ZN429 D/A converter and the ULA's (Uncommited Logic Arrays) in Sincair ZX81 and Spectrum computers
