Thanks Roddy! That should do the trick. The colon tubes will be the last thing I will construct. I just have to pick up a cheap magnifying head visor that I found for $5.00 tomorrow and I will be ready early next week to tackle the kit.
I will be using these 3mm LED's that are diffused and should look nice. I also have all the switches, jacks and power connector so I am ready to go. I appreciate the advice. <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-NrrJ7Oon0Tc/WaIv67iZACI/AAAAAAAAAYw/X-PLrcv2PAoBhVRNbVxvGSVvzC94wAkdACL4CGAYYCw/s1600/PHILMORE11-362.jpg> On Sunday, August 20, 2017 at 2:43:20 AM UTC-5, Roddy Scott wrote: > Edward, > > one method of retaining the brass as it is and to stop it shorting out is > to coat it with a lacquer.
