| Jan Audio:
Hi, i want a vactrol for a audio-compressor, what normal shop can you buy such a thing ? Or where else ? thanks |
| RandallMcRee:
If you simply google you can find specialty shops that sell NOS parts. I purchased several a few years ago...Also Ebargh but then you don't what the heck you are getting. E.g. https://www.amplifiedparts.com/products/optocoupler-vactec-vtl5c1-vactrol-new-old-stock Randall |
| Jan Audio:
They are a bit to expensive for me. Maybe with a LDR and LED with printed case somehow ?, maybe not. Ebay 5 for 5+ dollar no good then ?, maybe i should try. |

I've seen some guitar pedals using a LED + LDR inside a small black tube, you could use a 8mm black pneumatic (PU tubing) is really cheap... |

In a pinch I used drinking straw, and then a black heatshrinking tube over.. Worked well enough.. |
