Thanks everyone!
Well, I am waiting for a shipment from the graflex shop and the TCSS both, so while I wait, I decided to work on the actual crystal mount and lighting setup.
Previously, I had a pretty poor light, taped up in there for illumination. That's not the Slothfurnace way, so here we go machining some custom parts...
I found some "super bright" rectangular LEDs at radio shack, and whittled them down almost to the diode.
You can see the small rubber o ring I have tossed on there to keep them together while I test for lighting. It's MUCH brighter than what I had.
However, these pictures do NO justice to how BLUE these LEDs are, they look cyan in the photos, but it's a beautiful deep blue in person.
So I set aside the first mounting ring I made and machined one that accepts my LEDs and O ring in vertical slots for the LEDs, and a ring inset for the O ring.
here you can see the way it goes together.
It's MUCH cleaner, cooler, and brighter than what I had before. I will solder the ground leads from the LEDs to the brass, and use the positive leads to form a concentric ring around the whole setup, and solder a solid wire to that, and lead off to the battery pack.
