That's looking really neat!

Be great if you had the means to mass produce....got to be a market out there for this kind of quality kit

There is but price point is hard to reach and the license from CBS would be difficult if not impossible.

A bit of catch up after a lost weekend last weekend awaiting a root canal I thankfully had last Monday.

The four units that will be made without the LCDs(mine included) have the back lights built.

Sorry for the blur.

Then moving on to the two LCD units, the first job was installing the three switches that operate the display. The obvious place for them was the three pads labeled 1, 2, and 3 just below the projection.

The switch board needed to be cut into three pieces and rewired.

The beginnings of the switch pads for the second one. The first has these installed already but more on that tomorrow.

Fixed the graphic and reprinted it. I also enlarged the red "TEMP" text so I hope it shows now.

The switches are done now. I had to shim the tabs fro the second one.

Trim them to fit and glue them on followed by some finesse trimming.

Time to figure out the power switches.

I'll add some epoxy reinforcement but here's the main power switch install.

I need to close the opening at the top of the vacuform body and I've got one made.

I'll save a little time as I used this piece for a pattern before finishing it.
