Hi Mike!

Thanks for describing a good use for an Altoids tin. Will give me a good
excuse to eat some, hi hi. 

I copied the circuit Butch described and thought it might find some uses.
XYl can't stand Altoids, but reycluing, now that's something she's always
wanting me to do more of. See my strategy shaping up then? Hi hi. As soon as
I finnish the Altoids, she'll be saying throw it away. "But no," I'll say.
"I'm recycling it, dear." 


73,
Dave

This is a very good, simple circuit.

It would easily fit into an Altoids tin.

Many years ago, a friend and I bought a half dozen microwave oven beepers at
a hamfest for a dollar.

I used one of them in just a continuity circuit. That is the beeper, a
9 volt battery, and clip leads that are part of the negative lead going to
the battery.

I never thought about the switch option Butch described.

I may just have to make that modification.
