I got the circuit for the project out of a 90's issue of ARC....I had to source new parts for some that were NLA....Given what I've learned since then, I could probably improve on the circuit a good bit.
Not being skilled in electronics a "plug-in-and-play" unit was the choice for me. This "batpack" unit uses 60 AA's and 6 D's. If you are powering a '42 7G as I am, you must also use the extra D battery with the supplied holder.
