Right back at ya buddy
Ted the Leather you will be able to get from A Turn N Time as soon as the dummy gets the site up and working (ME)
I am close to covering mine and have been waiting to see how much it takes so I wont shoot my self in the foot by under pricing it.
I bought a box of 90 ohm pallet magnets from Paterson (64) I know it takes that many for sure and maybe a few more. Cost is the same on them if you buy 1 or 10,000 so ordering more at once dose not save you anything.
I am going to build the full blown Topsy also and will post here as I build. I have some great contacts to help us all work thu problems with the MIDI system and I am planing on getting supplies from the USA for them also and possibly work up some ready made circuit boards to have available.
I also have contact with John when needed too.

Oh and Welcome to the FWW Ted Please put where you are located so we know how to razz ya
Jay,
How many and of what sizes of pallet magnets did you end up using in total?
Are you happy with the Paterson pallet magnets?
I used 8 from OSI but will not do that again the shipping from them was nuts. I like the Peterson much better. I have used 80 between the main windchest and the acc windchest 72, 90 ohm 5/8 pads and 8, 60 ohm with 3/4 pads for the bass. I also have bought one of the 60 ohm valves with the longer arm and no pad for the Triangle. I am still trying to find a good solenoid valve for the woodblock and will post what I find as soon as I come up with something.
So count so far is 81 valves.
I would also buy there installation tool next time. I got it done but that tool would have made life alot easier.
A lot of time could also be saved with there mounting strips too.
