The UK magazine 'Everyday and Practical Electronics' did one using a
16C(F)84, their website is 'http://www.epemag.wimborne.co.uk', from
their you can find a link to a USA site which allows you to buy the
magazine on line. More importantly they have a sample issue available
for free download, this happens to be the one with the tape measure :-).
