Nice work Bob!  :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow:

If you do another one, could you do step-by-step pics of how to strip a DTI down? Especially if it's the plunger type... I've got a couple of sticky ones which could do with stripping, cleaning, and putting back together, but I'm not sure where to start with things like taking the lenses off, taking the hands off, etc...

Ta!  :nrocks:
