BTTF Time Machine Build Questions - Ask Me Anything

[Timebender]

Awesome! Thanks.
Somewhere I have a .jpg file of the Roentgen gauge that's not too bad. Having the round dials would same me some time from having to create them.

I got a faceplate recently from Bruce and it came with new gauge faces as a bonus - which I'd say is pretty darn cool of him. On the rectangular gauge, which I got one from him, I'm wondering what was used for the red alert "EMPTY" light, and is that pretty easy to install? I was kinda thinking just finding a small red light up button switch from Radio Shack (and man I've been not happy with them lately as all the cool electronic stuff is becoming less and less) and just taking the top and gluing it in.

Also, what kind of metal was used for the sides, and are there dimensions somewhere?

Thanks!
Greg

This is what I bought on advice from my guru, Gary...

You can just print on a regular piece of printer paper the "EMPTY" and install a flashing LED bulb assembly. It will shine through.

I'm not sure about the metal on the sides. It's just perforated stainless steel. Might even be (probably is) the same stuff used for the flux bands. That said I don't know what the hole size or spacing is supposed to be. I'm sure someone can provide.

["What The Flux?"]

I personally think that posts attempting to promote the business of (endorsing) the likes of dollar-parasites BC, GW and VB, should be deleted as unrelated to the topic.

You assume I'm talking about Gary Weaver... I am not. This is a different Gary. Sorry.

Oh really? Gary who? I'm sure we will have all heard of him if he is considered a "guru"

I said he was my guru. He and I have been trading info via Facebook for about a year. It's not my place to reveal who he is but he in on the board. He can introduce himself if he chooses. But I assure you, I'm not referring to GW... that said I have no quarrel with Mr weaver and have been more than satisfied with things I've bought from him.

Even now, still endorsing?! Is your endorsement of GW and GD really relevant to this thread?

Actually not an endorsement at all. I shared information re BTTF builds that was not a result of my own research but rather information a friend shared with me. I was merely giving proper credit to my source... who is not GW.

My comments about GW are also not an endorsement per say... I'm not suggesting anyone buy anything from him. You made what I felt was a condescending remark about him and I simply stated that I thought he was an alright guy.

Sorry if I offended anyone.

Thanks Steve- that should help on both questions. A question I forgot to ask was if you or anyone knows the dimensions or is there a pattern somewhere?
