I have a sound operated camera flash circuit that I built in the 70's.
It has the IC missing.
I thought that it was built from an English Practical Electronics circuit,
but the circuit appears very similar to the ETI 514B published in May 1976.
It does have a few differences however.
Does anyone have the May 1972 ETI that published the original ETI 514?

**  If the IC has 8 pins, I bet it is an LM301A.

The dudes at ETI were besotted with them in the early '70s.

Still an impressive device.

Wrong guess Phil

I have the mag,  it was a 741.

Thanks to Russ, I can state that the 514 used the 741 and the latter 514B
used the 301, as Phil guessed.

Phil appears to be good at that (guessing that is). :P
Pity his guessing (mostly incorrect) extends beyond the sphere of
electronics into other areas of which he has absolutely no knowledge or
expertise.

Cheers,

** That was no mere "guess".

I built a 514B back in 1976.

Took a nice pic of a yellow balloon bursting with my Pentax KX.

LOL, so they *were* slumming it that day!
