@Extelec oooh 4017 is a beauty. CD40106 hex schmidt was in many ways my 555. Loved a 4011 and a 4040. Cheekily gonna add the motorola mc series 14557B as well!

@concretedog @Extelec 40106 was also the favourite of Ray Wilson of MFOS and I can see how it could be your 555.

@synx508 @concretedog 4011 was my 555 :)

@Extelec @concretedog Weirdly mine was 4047, because my introduction to 4000 series parts was through Tom Duncan's Adventures with Microelectronics, the followup to Adventures with Electronics. I never had the third book, Adventures with Digital Electronics, so I don't know what happened next…
