Has anyone seen any lately? Is anyone making them anymore?
They used to be quite common in photographic equipment where a strobe
was to be slaved to a master unit. I did some browsing around and
checking catalogs and have come to the conclusion that it may be
easier to find tunnel diodes than LASCRs now.
