Why do you need the PIR to achieve that objective?   In my burglar alarm wiring loop I included an improvised microswitch toggled by the state of the garage door.   Terry, East Grinstead, UK

It has a device (powered by a CR2032 battery) that attaches to the door, and it transmits a signal when the door is open (mercury switch?). A receiver in the house has red and green LEDs, and it shows red when the door is up and green when the door is down.   I think it cost me about US$40, but a quick Google search shows them from Chamberlain and LiftMaster for under $100. Since Sears and OSH are both going out of business, you might be able to find one at a clearance price.   Of course, this approach deprives you of the joy of building one for yourself.

I designed it as an option board for the Roy induction heater and have now adapted it to time the heat on our Annie, the brass annealer for people who reload ammo.   I refuse to be a fear-monger and refuse to punish legitimate users by taking down the design because of a theoretical misuse scenario.   Proposing such a scenario as if it's actually probable is beyond the pale. After all, ordinary burglar alarm PIR detector, microswitches, vibration sensor (another burglar alarm device) and any number of devices can be misused.   If you were joking, it wasn't funny. Enough fear mongering and you end up with something like the Communist Republic of California where you're not free to do much of anything other than smoke a blunt or be queer.   On a lighter note, I'm kicked around this question in my mind for many years. "What would it take to make a totally non-disarmable bomb?" Since I'm now retired, maybe I'll take a go at it. Not with actual explosives, of course. Maybe a big red LED that spells out "Boom". Hmmm, maybe I could get a competition going, similar to battlebots.   Hmmmm, John John DeArmond http://www.neon-john.com http://www.tnduction.com Tellico Plains, Occupied TN See website for email address

The issue with bombs is that they are often overly complex - and it is the complexity that becomes their weakness. If you know how to 'stand' an egg, you are already half-way there.   Now, if you want a non-disarmable bomb that will also go boom only and exactly when asked (unless a disarm attempt is made), that is a different problem.   Peter Wieck Melrose Park, PA

John-Del <ohger1s@gmail.com>: Sep 24 11:03AM -0700 Running condition unknown except for the following: a long hard wired AC cord was added to supplement the side AC receptacle which is still there, but the AC cord has no plug (looks like it was wire-nutted into an even longer cord). Two of the three knobs are missing. It's never been stored in a wet or unheated area.   The push pull 6V6s and the rectifier are RCA all dated late 1957 and I believe them to be original to the amp. The 12AU7 and EF86 are missing, so it's untested.   Other than the two missing signal tubes and knobs, it's complete.   I will box it, but won't ship it. If you want it, you must issue a pick up at my business location.   Email me at: delstv--AT-- A O L.c o m
