They cost about $49.95 at last look. Also within the last year there was an article in either Modern Electronics or Hobby Electronics that described a circuit to accomplish this feat. It was somewhat moer complex than the circuit that was posted by someone here that used a Triac but had the advantage of requiring somewhat lower current from the control circuit. If you can't find the article and want to build one of these give me a call at : 412-374-5311 (work 8:00 am to 4:00 pm est m-f) or 412-367-7308 (home most other times) and i will copy the article for you. eric (the red baron) liber
