fair enough, I did think the mirrored material at least would be hard to get these days (although it was really common when I was in junior school and used for crafts, that is 30 years ago now :laugh_at: )
Bear in mind though many of us here are in England/Europe. it would cost loads in carriage costs and customs duty to import your gadget, we’d have to cross our fingers the couriers would get it here in one piece, then we’d have to find a suitable power supply for 230V instead of 110V.
Also maybe things are different in USA but here hardly anyone knows how to do proper hardware work any more. My own hardware engineerings skills are a bit rusty, and I admit that if there was only a few pounds/dollar’s difference between the cost of the ready made item and the kit I’d buy a ready built one. This is a country where sound crews would rather spend more on buying ready made speaker leads than making them, and they are hardly rocket science!
