Hello, I'm new to electronics as well as the site. I'm trying my hand at an 18 LED flasher thing-a-majig and it has a 4060b ic component. I know parts are cheap, but I collect everything (my wife loves that ya know) and have all sorts of different components lying around. Is it possible to substitute 1 for another say like a 4066b ic, or any other and still get the same effect? There are so many sites I'm sure that have the answers, but time and patience are not my strongest attributes. Could anyone tell me what my possiblities are?? Or just help me to understand it all a little better. Thanks. I have a feeling I'll be using this site quite a bit.
