Hey folks. As a kid in the 1970s with access to only Radio Shack
for parts and educational materials, I had a lot of Forrest Mims'
books. I've dug up a lot of the ones learned from (new copies via
eBay; my original ones are sadly long gone) and in fits of nostalgia
I've built quite a few of the old circuits I played with when I was 8
or 9. One component that I really liked was the LASCR. I had one
which I used in a few different circuits back then. While I still
have some of my old stuff from that era, that one LASCR is nowhere to
be found...Now it seems they've disappeared from the scene entirely.
Has anyone seen any lately? Is anyone making them anymore?
