John, 

Thanks for posting your parts availability.  I'll have a look through
and compare datasheets to the L14C2 to see if any of them might be
appropriate.

This is for an old (1980s, I guess) camera shutter-speed tester to
which I'd like to add a remote sensor to make it easier to use for
some types of camera equipment.  I know nothing about the  unit's
operation and don't want to rip apart my working one (it's held
together internall with hot glue) to figure out how it works.  All I
know is that someone else used an L14C2 for this modification some
years ago, it worked, and he documented it online.

The L14C2s on ebay are quite pricey.  A (much cheaper) L14P2 arrived
yesterday, perhaps the difference in rise/fall won't matter.
