That's funny you should be talking about the costs of brass versus andodising!
The case for the new ZM1040 clock I am building was originally going to be mirror finished brass 2 mm thick until I found out what it would cost! Instead of brass I am now making it in 2 mm aluminium that will be anodised once the final assembly is decided. It started off with a quote for 9 small parts being hard anodised for $110, adding the full casing plates to this was only another $65 so it ended up a lot cheaper than the brass as the main tube plate alone was going to be $120! The kit from Pete has just arrived as I write so that will be getting assembled after lunch! That base in your photograph looks excellent, Edward! > > > > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
