Coming from two senior members i take that as a huge compliment. Thank you. I didn't bother adding an LED. Waste of battery power.
Good job, I like the red button on the black box, I usually do that style for myself. It makes the button look "important"
Thanks, but I'm no expert....I'm still in the midst of making MY first one.
If it comes out looking as clean as yours, I'll be well-satisfied.

Some little things i took note of when building it. I didn't want to make any mistakes. I only had enough parts to build one. My local radio shack only had only one set of parts in stock & i live in a tiny little fishing town. I ordered 10 more parts of each. I'm going to give them away to people for free around town. Hopefully i can drum some business.
1. Drill holes by hand with a paid of sharp tip scissors. I take the sharpest of the two blades and make a notch where i want the hole. Then i twist the box back and forth 360 style until the blade barely pokes thru the other side. It's cheap plastic. Takes only a minute. Then i close the scissors, insert both blades into the hole and begin twisting. This is preferable because i can drill out the exact size hole i need.
2. When securing your battery connector, use epoxy & a toothpick. Add a thin layer around the inside where the connector sits firmly against the plastic. Wait a couple of hours, then add another layer. Repeat until your satisfied the connector is secure & locked in.
3. Don't twist the button too hard when fastening it to the box. I had a square momentary and the body of the button broke in half. I twisted too tight.
4. When digging the connector out of my 901 battery i had to take a pair of heavy duty needle nose pliers & peel back the battery tube back centimeter by centimeter until i got to the bottom. Like peeling a banana. Luckily i managed to pull the connector out with the wires still perfectly attached. All i had to do was solder the connector wires to the button.

Depending on the type of switch and epoxy, you need to be very, very careful when securing it, even with a toothpick. It only takes a drop of epoxy wicking into the moveable parts and you just ruined a switch at best, ruined the entire mod at worse.
Here is everything you need:

to get the battery connector out of a 901 I heat the connector with my soldering iron the screw a bad attie on and give it a slight pull, they cme right out.
You do not have to heat it real hot just a few seconds and out they come.

my brass connector is attached to a 1 inch cut down to size battery tube. i just epoxy'd around the outside of the tube to the inside of the battery box. There is no way epoxy can reach the internals.
