If he is friendly he will find one from an old scrapped VCR and probably donate it to you, or just charge a couple of bucks. They are resistive, about 1200 ohms at normal room humidity if I remember right. -Roman PS. If you can get an old scrapped VCR I can tell you where the sensor is, heck you can even pull the sensor from your own VCR and replace it with a resistor, most of the newer VCRs don't bother with a sensor anyway. It is one of those older "quality" features. -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline? Don't AutoReply us! email listserv@mitvma.mit.edu with SET PICList DIGEST in the body
