Lever Prep & Installation

Got the levers prepped and installed. Will move on to final soldering tomorrow. Here are some snaps of the prep and final install. This might be a keeper for future transmitters!

Woohoo!!! The levers are here.

Just got the custom levers for the Kraft project. These are a hybrid of a Proline shape, Kraft size and Ace oversize thumb gripper.
