    The cheapie Hasbro sound card I have runs on 3 batteries. That's 4.5 volts. It is possible that the board is designed to only handle 5 volts, so the 6 volts may have fried the sound chip. You...

    Are those red o-rings? If so, did you do anything special to the grooves to help them stay put (that is,...

    I can at least get a quote on the custom machining, but I'm not too worried about the o-rings staying put. I have a saber with a type 4 main body that I put o-rings on. With the alternating wide...

    OK.

    While style 3 is my favorite choke (I used it in my first MHS build), I don't feel it works in this design. What I like about this one is that all the size transitions (front of emitter, choke,...

    OK, that's two votes against shiny right away. I hadn't thought about the issue of scratching. The obvious reason to use powdercoat rather than a more ordinary paint is that it is tougher than...
