Hi Bob as expected another fine job  :drool: I always love them photos of the dti in many parts, knowing the story would have a sad end if many others were doing the same job ( me included )
   Keep up the good work.

Cheers Mick

Ditto. I need more info. I have a DTI I got at an estate sale that needs a new crystal.

Eric I'm guessing that Bob is probably heat/ vacuum forming them from polycarbonate sheet or thin perspex.

Time will reveal all,I hope....OZ.
