Thanks! I love the retro stuff like that. And with the back in place you can’t see it. But it looks cool when you open it up.

The battery box isn’t to scale from a real battery so another deviation. I was trying to allow as much air circulation as possible but the 40-81 just doesn’t seem to get too warm at least so far that I’ve noticed.
