We'll get this worked out after Christmas..don't know what the big discusssion is about. Both IC's are available..if it calls for a 7837..use a 7837...if it calls for a 7838..use a 7838. Unless this is going to be another 110/220 discussion. This is not a modification, nor should it be relevant...since both IC's are readily available. -Ed- Tel-Tek Electronics Ontario-Canada teltek2@xxxxxxxxxxxx ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gary McCartney" <gary@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, December 24, 2002 6:19 PM Subject: [TechAssist] Re: Can LA7838 be replaced by LA7837? > > It seems this is a definite topic we need to get verified one way or > another.
