Wow! I'm really impressed with everyone's generosity. I used to pretend like I was an electrical engineer about a hundred years ago, so I think between the stuff on Thugwold's GD and Nixiebunny's link, I should be able to get very close to a finished watch. Thanks again, everybody; I can't tell you how much I appreciate all of the assistance!!
