New switch

Like I said before, whilst we were in Sheffield we had a wander round the shops and I saw a Maplins so thought I’d pop in and get my poho photo mos relays. I tracked down an assistant and asked him about them. He knew exactly what I was talking about and didn’t dismiss me as some sort of southern nutter. After a bit of searching around and looking thru’ their catalogue he suddenly remembered that they don’t stock them anymore and they sold the last one just before Christmas. Teriffic. I was about to leave when I had an idea so asked if they did a switch that makes the circuit when you press and hold it down but breaks it as soon as you release it. (Notice the use of terminology there, I think if nothing else I can now talk pidgeon-electronics). And they do!! So I bought one and it even fits in the hole where those carbon-tipped switches are supposed to go so it looks as though we’re back in action.
