Clock build final

At last I finished the clock - id timer, now named the CRON-O-MATIC.  What started out as the CHRONULATOR clock kit has evolved into a clock and 10 minute ID timer for the Ham Shack. I have to thank Mr. Boone for making a versatile kit that anyone can build, but at the same time be so easy to customize into whatever you can dream up! There is a gallery of people's projects that can be seen at his website that shows many different ideas.

Mounted Minutes meter...

After cutting and drilling the front panel I started to install (and test fit) everything that was to go in it. First the meters go in.

Wiring up the front panel. 2 meters, an LED, and a toggle switch to turn on /off the ID timer.

The front panel plates were printed and etched. I used the blue etching sheets found online. I like these better that the old transparency method. 25 minutes to get a deep etch on these solid copper plates.

The finished product. The time is set, also the timer is set for a test run.
