Is the 9203 photocell supposed to be bent over so the flat part faces the bulb? or just mounted similar to a cap, with the flat part facing up, next to the bulb? I've been searching the build reports, but have seen various cells and mountings. I am using the suggested parts from Small Bear in the BOM. (9203 photocell with the JKL 560-8099SB lamp) What is the best way to install this setup?
Thanks!
Nobody has built a Quadrovibe? ;D
I built it:) if I remember right, I faced the cell directly toward the bulb and put heat shrink around it. I made the mistake of not connecting the rate LED. Won't work without it!

Found my build report. Here is a screen shot of the cell+bulb

Is that cell the 9203? Did you have to bend it 90 degrees to face the lamp? Mine faces straight up if mounted as is.
Thanks!
yeah, I think I remember having to bend it
Yeah you'll have to bend it 90 degrees and may have to tweak its proximity to the lamp to get the effect you like. I haven't built a quadrovibe but know this from experience with other "roll your own" vactrols.
I suspected so.
Thank you, gentlemen!
