You're welcome. I think its pretty cool too.
When I was a kid I used to play with all kinds of things electronics. You name it, I had batteries, motors, electro magnets, wind-up generators, lights, solar cells, meters... including a few of those 100-in-1 electronic kits. My dad got me started in that stuff when I was 5 or something like that. It was a lot of fun. I think giving a kid a creative toy or a toy that teaches is probably one of the nest things any parent can do for their kid.
I never burned the house down or got into any trouble, except once. I took the coil off of our TV set's picture tube. I didn't disconnect it, just removed it from the picture tube. I replaced it with another coil and connected the 2 coils to the left and right channels of their home stereo. The result was a kind of dancing oscilloscope with music. ah, good times.
