I dunno James, sometimes I think wistfully of my childhood Saturdays spent tinkering with the Legos--still sounds good to me!

Nice article Charles! You made good points.

I didn't realize the bottom battery mount was a dummy, I thought it was wired in parallel. That's a shame. I guess you can consider it a carry-along...
