I was considering how to dig out the LED/receiver from their moulded inserts in case they are duff, and have a very clear recollection of looking at a parts sheet with spares numbers for the holders. Now as I can't find any reference to it I'm convinced I dreamed it last night. Bizarre! Memo to self: stop soldering late at night.

I'm making the circuit on veroboard to test. The LED shows up on my camera, so I'm assuming the IR transmission side is working.
