Thanks Larry and Meindert for your help...but being somewhat solid state
challenged, I need some more...

The "fuse resistor" threw me so I went to DigiKey and tried a search...came
up empty. I had an online chat with DigiKey's Tech Support and he directed
me to a PolySwitch Resettable Device; specifically their p/n RXE065-ND found
on page 1060 of the online catalogue. It appears to me that this will do
the job...your suggestions?

Just use one of these from Mouser. There's hundreds of values. Start
looking on:

Sorry I forgot the value in our other post. I'm sure it's on one of
these pages, real cheap.

Buy all parts from Mouser Electronics. Not many companies will sell
me ONE of something cheap. Mouser will and have it to you in a couple
of days.

Secondly, I searched for a 2N2222 on DigiKey and found that it is
"Obsolete"...Tech Support at DigiKey could not find a cross to another
transistor. Larry, when you suggest "...any common NPN transistor..." what
characteristics am I most concerned about in finding a replacement for the
2N2222?

Man, that guy was nuts.

2N3904 will work fine. Nickel a piece, cheaper if you buy 100...(c;

Tell the nice mouser lady to MAIL it to you at your risk. I do that
all the time. Mouser is the finest place to order parts in the world
for the hobbiest and small-time operator like me.
