Yani,<br><br>Your kind offer sounds brilliant. I'm sure Reuben will fit the bill nicely. If he needs AA or CR2032 cells I can provide some. If not maybe he would run off a bench supply? Sounds like Monday evening is getting interesting already :-)<br>

Hi Richard,<br><br>I have a wireless doorbell remote which commands a stuffed gorilla to cackle malevalently and shakes it's head side to side whenever pressed (I can't recall if the eyes glow or not). Sound remotely useful? Or have you asked for the cabled bell specifically because of the RF interference from the mast above the 175 building?<br>
<br>In case you are wondering, this was an engagement present from a rather inventive school friend (whose subsequent wedding present was a rotary fly-swat - a flyswat interfaced with an electric drill). I've no idea what the range is, and I would have to replace the batteries in one or both units I think. But it would seem fitting for just such an event. I believe his name is Reuben, or Ruben - I think it is documented in the 1 page user manual we received with it.<br>
<br>Cheers,<br>Yani.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jul 12, 2012 at 5:44 PM, Richard Jones <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:rjtp@ihug.co.nz" target="_blank">rjtp@ihug.co.nz</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
The bad news is that our usual room is in use for some business purpose and we've been thrown out.<br>The good news is that we can use Training Room 1 which is next door and nearer to the toilets.<br>Anyone have something like a doorbell and 20m of cable? Please reply to the list if you have and can bring it along at 6.30pm.<br>
