Yo Metroampers:

I finally got registered over here after lurking for a long time. There is so much good info! Here is my latest build. Features parts from all over the place. Hand drilled and staked my first turret board! It's a 2204 design. Coming along well...

Hey man, that looks nice! What did you use as your staking tools? I want to make some small boards for a Tiny terror clone project i'm working on. I have the turrets and was going to use PCB board (stripped of the copper) to stake the turrets on. I just need to figure out what to use as an anvil.

Hey Joe,

You did a mighty fine job on your first build. There is a fountain of info there. Keep up the excellent work.

Wicksy: I used the one available from Hoffman. I thinks it's 5 bucks? I did have to drill out the the one part to fit the larger turrets. Check out the blog for a detailed rambling.

77: Thanks man! It took forever but my current project is going more smoothly because I am avoiding the pitfalls of the first.
