RE: Motion Sensors - Now WaveFinder....

["Ian B" <Ian@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks Frank

When it went to wavefinders I stopped reading the thread so missed this
-
sorry. If IN4001's will do I have a stack of them here so could send
you
some no problems. They are rated at 50 volts and 1 amp IIRC. If you
want
some send me your address and I'll post them.

Ian
