For once it may not be the forum settings breaking something? ;)
How's this?

EDIT: I wonder why I had to make the picture an attachment before it worked... It may still be a forum setting that somehow blocked the picture.

Re: Powering up the complete parts

I will be using the brass terminals out of these to get the power out of the wood base and into the nixie chessboard. $4.13 shipped for 3 of these on ebay. It will be seamless, they should match perfectly with the rest of the brass parts. The only wire that will be visible will be the power supply c...

Re: Powering up the complete parts

An t h ony -> I think I see it now! Even if I were to make a Tufnol power supply box, there would still be a box with wires which doesn't look very good... Getting the power supply out of sight completely would be ideal. Thus a base concealing the power supply sounds like the right thing to do. The ...

Re: Powering up the complete parts

Those are some awesome pics. And Edit does indeed work again. I'm kinda dreading the part/broken/missing count I'll have to do... Especially since I'll have to make sure I have enough of all the components for the checkers bases too... For the power supply I'm thinking I might make a wood base that ...

Re: Powering up the complete parts

Maybe people just don't bother to make "another" account? Or maybe the instructions are good enough to keep them occupied in the building stage. Do you know of any "good looking" power supplies? Or do I just have to use an ugly one... * The edit/delete issue still hasn't been fix...

Re: Permissions/Bugs

Interesting error message. It doesn't like me... :?

This means I better not have any mistakes in my posts, because I wont be able to edit them after I hit submit until the permissions are fixed.

Re: Powering up the complete parts

Great, so it's fully protected in-case I hook up the wrong power supply cause they all have the same metal case. Maybe I should get a nice looking one as the ones I got are more for function than looks. So when are you "really" going to send out the invoices? You just keep crossing out the...

Re: Powering up the complete parts

I have power supplies out the ass, and a fluke 87-V so I'm good on that shit. 2v over is all it can take? I would have put in an over-volt circuit at the power connection to avoid that issue. But I guess it's too late for another revision now.
