Thanks to all for your responses ... but I still haven't been
able to locate a supplier for the GP1U581Y IR detector.
A search of B.G.Micro's and DigiKey's web sites produced
no results.  The two local Radio Shacks stock a similar
unit by Everlight, but the IR window is on the top of the
box instead of the front.  DigiKey does stock a unit by
LiteOn that is similar, but it is not a direct replacement.

Digikey: part number 160-1060-ND on page 575
BG Micro: part number LED1001 on page 2
Radio Shack: part works fine, just solder leads on at right
angles (use cut-off ends of resistors or what-not) just make
sure you observe proper pinout.

Lite-On unit won't work unless you hack the circuit on my page
by putting a 47uf cap next to the unit and feeding +5 to it
via a 47 ohm resistor.
