Eldon,

I should have given you the link;   http://www.allegromicro.com/en/  .

I realize that the Zener is a pig on power, but I would use one of the 
tractor batteries I keep in the shop. ( Oops, I used the T word and am 
likely to set Dave off again.)

I have several UGN 3503UA's  if you need one.
