Please forgive me, Robert. I meant where can I put the magnet so that it won't interfere with the other components inside, but it will still work with the PC board already glued in. There's a hole under the R & D sticker on the bottom of the lid/door, but I don't know where to put the switch so that it will activate and not be obstucted by the PC board.
I'm thinking of drilling a small hole in the side edge of the door, and putting the magnet there so that I can put the reed switch along the side of the main board. I figure that this will make it activate with no problem. Thank you for your help with this. I just need to get this done as it's the very last thing I have to do before I paint the tricorder, and place the stickers.
On another note - have the door in primer, and the paint is mixed to the proper colour. I'm sick right now, and it's only getting worse. I have the majority of this finished. I'll get the wiring, and paint done hopefully tomorrow, but I want a few more pictures of this in the unpainted form first so that I have references for my portfolio.
