Nice... I'm intrigued enought to consider it myself. It'll probably
take a bunch of parts scrounging, though. Were you planning on
laser-printer transfer film for the PCB?

Hi
My first home brew digital project was to make
a digital dice using RTL jk-flops. I ran the thing
from a 9 volt battery and a regulator to get to
3.6v. It drained the 9v battery in just a few
minutes of operation.
It used mercury switches to control the power and
the roll timing.
I remember going from Homestead Florida to Fort Lauderdale
to find the surplus place with the logic boards to
strip the RTL from.
