Reattach bottom face plate to base plate, photograph with fingerprints and all (will be remedied, of course)
Opening...

VFD Mounting
The headcap screws I have are just a shade larger than the holes in the VFD, but no problem. Busted out the round file (yes, a round file, not the garbage can!) and enlarged them all. Hint: chucking the round file in your drill makes things go reaaaaaaaal fast
Be careful not to go too far!
Now I couldn't mount the screen flat to the back of the base plate, as its too thick. So I needed spacers. Hrmm... The old pen casing trick!
Moments later after a date with my bandsaw...
And mounted.
Hiding behind the top face plate.
Animation + flash = bad.
Temporary install of 2 layers of blue filter.
A few snapshots while I'm on the phone with the wife -- "what are you doing??"
