RE: [TCML] 555 timer



NOT SO FAST MR. BUNNYKILLER!!!!!!!

I am sitting on a veritable stash of them here in the DaveCave(tm)

And the really strange thing is that there are so many better devices out
there but these older designs keep surfacing and calling for a 2N3055

Go figure...

Cheers!
Dave
