is that of a machine gun firing.
No. 80-950 Happy Birthday COB (chip-on-board)
This one does not require any assembly, unless you want to
install it in a package or birthday card. When an insulator is moved
aside, the circuit plays the "happy birthday" melody, through a
tiny on-board speaker. This is kind of corny but boy can you get to
a girl's heart with this little device. A really nice surprise to
send to your Dad too. (Naturally, he'll feel certain that you're
a genius.)
No. 80-840 117 Volt AC Relay Bound
Many electronic projects use a low voltage circuit, such as a timer, light sensor, dark sensor, temperature sensor, and a movement detector, and output a signal when a certain predetermined event occurs. This signal is often a rising or falling 12 volt pulse: but then what do you do with it? You use it with this circuit to control a relay capable of handling up to ten amps (or 5 amps @ 240VAC).
The circuit includes a DPDT relay with a life expectancy of
about ten million cycles. Be sure to house this circuit in a suitable
case, well insulated and safe for every one that may ever be
around it.
No. 80-550 Suction Cup Phone Pickup with Amplifier
No electrical connection to the telephone is required. Attach
a suction cup to the hand set and turn on the amplifier. This

Control about any device using the remote control from just
about any TV set. The circuit switches an on-board SPDT relay. Turn it
on with the remote, and turn it off with another signal. The
relay contacts are rated one amp at 125 volts AC. The circuit operates
on any DC supply from 8 to 15 volts. Use an old calculator supply,
etc. This circuit can have some very practical applications, such
as turning on a light by an invalid. Your imagination is
the limit.
No. 80-104 Stereo Preamplifier Kit
Amplify any tiny audio signals about fifty limes, and deliver
them to a power amplifier cleanly and undistorted. An AGC (automatic
gain control) eliminates pops or distortion. This circuit will be
useful in boosting the output from tape heads, microphones, or a
magnetic phone cartridge, etc. For input to an audio amplifier.
Requires a 12VDC power supply at about 100 mA peak.
No. 80-102 Universal Timer

No. 80-790 Three Light/DarkActivated Relay Switches
This kit has three separate circuits in one; three separate
PC boards, etc. This one will give you both useful circuits
and experience in different approaches, circuit-wise, to doing the
same thing; controlling a device with a change to either light
or darkness. Each kit is equipped with a relay rated up to 240VAC @
5Amps. You may either turn "on" or "off" the controlled device. A
good kit for student learning electronics.
No. 80-470 8 Watt Audio Amplifier
Low voltage operation does not mean low power. This amplifier can produce a full eight watts into a standard four or eight ohm "load" such as a speaker. Actually, it can deliver up to 11 watts if you use a 18 volt supply.
You may use this amplifier with a wide range of power
supplies, from 5 volts to 20 volts. The IC has built-in current
limiting and over-heating protection. An ideal building block for use
with many other projects. The audio quality is excellent.
No. 80-710 Programmable Dice
The idea on an electronic dice game of one kind or another
is almost as old as glaciers. But this one is very clever and
includes software on a floppy disk (for the IBM PC) plus a huge
manual describing how such things work, software for other projects,
etc. This may be the most educational kit in the line.
No. 80-101 Home/Car Alarm
This circuit in an alarm for the home or car door, and a lot
more. It employs a magnet and reed switch to trigger the circuit.
An integral piezo sounder produces the alarm sound (100dB). But, a
relay capable of handling up to 10 Amps AC may be connected to turn on
or off an appliance, external alarm sounder, etc. Therefore the
circuit could be used to turn on a light whenever a basement or garage
door is opened and so on.
No. 80-870 1 Watt Stereo Amplifier
An amplifier designed with portability in mind; ideal for
battery applications. A full watt from each channel, excellent
fidelity. Uses a Samsung KA2209 IC. Small size; the board is 1-3/8" by
2". All basic parts supplied, including PC board; you supply two 8-ohm
speakers. A six volt or nine volt battery pack is suggested using AA
cells. Use D cells if extra long battery life is required. Suggest
uses are for amplification of a CD or Walkman.
No. 80-060 FM Stereo Transmitter
This is a circuit that will broadcast CD quality sound to your
FM Walkman, home stereo or automobile radio. It produces a strong
signal that will generally cover the average home and yard. It is
stable enough to use even with digitally tuned FM receivers. Typical
uses include broadcasting your own music to a receiver at pool-side or
in a garden. Or, you could broadcast from a personal, portable CD
player to a car radio that has no CD player. School uses include
running a "broadcast station" from another room as a speech class
exercise. The unit is powered by a nine volt transistor battery, or an
AC wall adaptor.
No. 80-050 44 Watt Stereo Power Amplifier
The circuit is a gem; a TDA1554 IC is used to produce an
amplifier that will output up to 22 watts per channel with distortion
typically not in excess of 0.1% thd. Sound quality is very, very
high. Originally intended for use in an automobile, the kit could be
built for home use. If you build it to power-amplify your car stereo,
be sure that your speakers (4 ohms best, 8 ohms OK) are big enough
to handle the power. Special Note:
An automobile generally provides from 13.6V to 14.4V when engine
is running. Any thing between 12 volts and 14.4 volts DC will do but
the amplifier can draw as much as 5 amps, so the average "wall
adaptor" is not going to work. If you do use an AC operated power
supply; get a clean one with very low ripple.
No. 80-740 Portable Port Relay Board, for the IBM PC (software included)
With each advance in personal computers, a surplus of unwanted older machines increases, either at give-away prices or you may have one sitting on a shelf. Thus you can have a low cost, sophisticated "dedicated controller" to turn on or off devices in the home, lab, or radio shack, etc.
The circuit includes eight relays controlled with
(included) software for either DOS or Windows 3.1 The kit is a boon to
the Science Fair project, laboratory experimenter and so on. Connects
to the parallel port.
No. 80-670 DC Motor Speed Controller
Vary the speed of DC motors the very best way with this kit.
Gear boxes can be costly and series resistors may cause stalling.
This circuit delivers the voltage to the motor with pulses and the
speed is controlled via pulse width modulation (PWM). The speed
control is a potentiometer, for DC motors up to 100 Volts at a maximum
of five Amps.
No. 80-850 Three Timer Circuits
Timer circuits are handy for many experimenters'
laboratory functions, not to mention the photo or PC tab. This kit is
another three-in-one in that all three circuits are complete and
separate; simply using different types of circuits to do exactly the
same job. All come complete with 5 amp relays for controlling
pretty significant loads. All may be operated on battery or light
weight (9VDC) supply. The advantages and disadvantages of each design
are discussed in the text.
No. 80-900 3 Watt Stereo Amplifier
The Rohm BA5406 IC is used to make this powerful little
stereo amplifier. The entire circuit is on a 1-1/2" x 2-1/2" circuit
board. You'll need to allow added space of 1-1/2" x 2-1/2" for the
heatsink, plus ventilation for same. In addition to a 12 VDC power
supply (batteries), you will need to provide 4 or 8 ohm speakers,
cables and a heat compound to put between the IC and the heat
sink.
No. 80-375 5 LED Multi-Sequential Flasher
Flashes five, very bright LED's in any of one of seven, user selectable, patterns. A COB (chip-on-Board) IC makes assembly very easy; the chip is supplied premounted on its own board and amother board contains the entire circuit. Operates on 3 volts DC, battery holder is included. Continuously repeats a sequence when power is supplied.
No. 80-105 Voice Changer
Your voice can be changed to add a vibrato, like those used
to disguise secret witnesses. Or, you may change your voice tone
upward or downward; women sound like men and vice versa. Includes a
very ROBOTIC voice as well. A microphone and speaker are included on
the PC board, all that you need to add is a nine volt,
transistor battery. This is a very novel and entertaining
circuit.
No. 80-103 Photo Sensor with Control Relay
The most popular usage for this kit is to make your own
nightlight. But, you could switch just about any appliance either on
or off with either darkness or daylight. Light sensitivity is
adjustable over quite a range. The relay can handle up to 10 amps AC.
You need to add a nine volt transistor battery or a nine volt,
25mA supply.
No. 80-106 Sound Effects Generator
Another novel circuit, that might be useful for special
theatrical effects. Or, if you are simply a practical joker. The
circuit can produce sounds such as the tick-tock of a grandfather's
clock, a heart monitor (as in the hospital), water on a tin root, a
motorboat, cricket, etc. Requires a nine volt battery. Includes its
own speaker.
No. 80-880 Stereo VU Meter
This Is a very eye appealing audio accessory. Displays
an approximate output level for each channel of stereo
amplification. Connects to the speaker terminals; levels are displayed

sink grease to apply between the IC and the heat sink. Includes PC
board and all parts. Build two for stereo.
No. 80-525 Sequential Flasher
The circuit flashes five LED's in sequence repeatedly until you turn it off. Flash rate is user adjustable. The circuit usess an IC chip-on-board which you will then mount on the included motherboard; battery holder is included.
Powered by a 3 Volt supply or battery; good for a child's toy
or for those "high-tech" looking special effects for stage
plays, etc.
No. 80-150 6-12 Volt Alarm Module
or SCREAMER
The loudest piezo alarm that you will find: 10dB to 11dB output @1
meter. The kit includes a resonant cavity mounting case which
is molded plastic, 2" x 3-1/4" and 1-1/4" deep, plus mounting ears.
If you want to totally startle a burglar, this is the kit to
assemble. Operates on 6 to 12 volts. You'll need a good supply: it
draws about 500mA maximum.
No. 80-005 STAIRWAY TO
HEAVEN Game
Pressing the switch while a dual LED is green advances you to
the next stage; but mess-up and press while red, and you go back to
the beginning. It can be tricky and a challenge. Fun and teaches
some practical basic electronics. Operates on 9V battery.
No. 80-570 ION
Generator
Are there some healthful positive benefits caused by being in
an environment that contains negative or positive ions? Some
reports suggest a wide range of benefits. This generator can be set up
to generate either negative or positive ions; the builder's
choice. Operation is from 117 Volts AC power line. You will need to
find a case or box for the final assembly, about 2" x 4-1/4" and an
inch depth; and an AC power cord from an old amp (or buy new). You
can actually feel the flow of ions from the unit.
No. 80-088 10 Watt X 10 Watt
Stereo Amplifier
Employs the TDA2009 class AB audio power amplifier IC for
quality stereo applications. May be operated on a supply voltage of 8
to 22VDC. This is a very straight forward stereo amplifier: complete
witha PC board (about 1-3/4" x 3"). Powerful enough to power your
stereo for a mid-sized room and more than enough for use in
an automobile.
No. 80-014 Light Activated Music
Box Engine
This circuit will play a tune when light strikes a light
dependent resistor, such as when a music box lid is opened. You can
select any one of about a dozen romantic melodies: play just one or
let the unit cycle through all of the tunes. Operates on 3 VDC. Two AA
cell holder included. You could really wow a girl friend or simply
please your mom.
No. 80-980 Monaural Preamplifier
Our audio amplifier kits works very well, but if your input is
a tape head, magnetic phone cartridge or electret mike, the input
level may be too low to do the job. This small preamp can be used in
these applications; plus, we have included a mike that may be used
with the circuit. Power at 6 V to 12 V (current at 12 V is 3mA, only
2mA at 9V). The gain is more than 40 dB.
No. 80-118 12 bit Data
Acquisition System
The circuit, once built, connects to the parallel port of a PC for data input/output. Uses the Maxim 186 IC; collect analog and digital information and store them on the hard drive. Included software can display and interpret the data, provide trends etc. This is a very sophisticated little device and software (good Science Fair stuff too). Manuals and software are zipped on an included diskette. This is for somewhat sophisticated users that know their way around a PC fairly well. Not for beginners. Power with 9 or 12 VDC.
Optic Emitters and
Detectors
Everything from audio systems to computer aided machines control becomes clean and free from outside interference with fiber optics. Here is a family of low-cost, medium frequency emitters and detectors for use over "short" ranges. A PVC housing is used universally to house all of the various devices that are most commonly wanted for fiber optic circuits. Low cost, 1000 uM fiber connects via a knurled-nut arrangement on the universal housing; no special tools or training needed. A razor blade is the only tool that you'll need.
Now is the time to design the interference free, fiber
optic devices that you've been thinking of; and at a low cost. The
chart below shows the various devices available, ranging from a
photodiode to sophisticated photologic detector. Full specifications
