Hey Dusty - your image of the dial gauge reminded me of thought i had when doing a setup. It looks like the dial gauge is making an angle (possibly in 2 directions) to what would be the surface normal (the plate) .

Pretty interesting little device.

These old games have alot more play depth and strategy to them than things like Monopoly and Candyland :) Back of the board: Red Oak 3/4 Ply + Leopard Wood...

I had that problem of battery updates with my old Ryobi cordless drill + flashlight (nicd i think). Ryobi stopped supporting it (after many years) but would ya know it- a Chinese manufacturer made a replacement which has allowed me to continue to use it, although I have also upgraded to a 20V Dewalt...

I looked at that and wondered what parts of that list are needed to build a power station?

Might be a good time to consider cobbling one together.
