hi there, nice pics. when I saw your avatar picture, its almost a copy of one of my pics in my album, thought i was seeing things there for a moment! lol

Dr. Dark,

Sorry I didn't reply to your questions - I was out of the country Oct 17 to 24 then as you can imagin was busy getting everything set up for the 31st

Did you figure out the Maestro wiring? If you still have questions yet me know. Once agin sorry I wasn't abel to help before Halloween

Howdy! Thanks! I'm really proud of my first effort at building props. Not sure what next year's project will be. Toying with the idea of an electric chair. Not sure if I'll have a pneumatic prop or if I'll make it an interactive prop for folks to sit in and do a simulation. I also want to do some type of animatronic head. Probably not a skull, as that seems to be covered by alot of folks already. I'm over here in Council Bluffs. Glad to meet ya.

I was just having trouble figuring out how to wire it up. The instructions, and schematic are a bit confusing, and I am not terribly savy when it comes to electrical issues. If you have any words of wisdom, I'm all ears!

What is going on with the maestro II unit?

Hi Dr.

Any prop pics to share with us?

Oh yeah, Quaker Oats is definitely still there!!! Nice to meet you!

Hey there- I see you're in Cedar Rapids? I grew up there! I went to Erskine Elementary, always frequented Beaver Park and lived on White Oak Road. Don't miss the smell of the Quaker Oats Mill, though. Is that still around?
