I just checked out the parts list for the Neovibe from GGG.  The mouser part number for the LDR is discontinued, and I dont know enough about LDRs to pick a replacement.  Can sombody throw me a mouser part number or give me some info on picking one?  

Thanks,

Small bear's are 2.50 a pop, and while worth it, still 10 dollars just for LDRs for the project.

I'm trying to stick to mouser or digikey because I'll end up getting them for free (through the shop I work at).

[edit] I think I answered my own question, the range for the LDRs has to be 50-200K.  So now, its just finding them...    :?

Could anyone tell me about the tolerances of LDRs and replacement?  I found some 100-200K, and some 80-200K photocells from digikey, would the difference in range make a significant difference?
