Remote Sensors No More

I think it may be here in the blog somewhere, but the question of Remote Sensors has come up.  These are little boxes that worked with the MetroLux II and measured light at the easel.  Unfortunately, there are no more in stock and there are no more chassis available, so these are discontinued.  You might try a WTB ad at a discussion group, but I have never seen one for sale and few were made.  Sorry about that.

Would you be willing to share the details of the internals that were used on the remotes? I have old chassis from other sensors/assemblies that I could likely retrofit in some way and use the full feature set on my Metrolux.
