Hi, i want a vactrol for a audio-compressor, what normal shop can you buy such a thing ?
Or where else ?

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

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..
