Yes Mr. Huff :-), I think I posted it on Compuserve a few years ago
but not here.

Bingo! We have a winner. A door bell kit from Maplin many years ago to
replace one that got zapped by lightning.

Part numbers done with PSPro. The Cu track was scanned with a hand

A Logitech 4-bit BW hand scanner on the supplied schematic. Took 3
scan strips if I remember, then was image_mapped onto a bozo HF. 1-bit
coz 4-bits was way to large a file then.
