A light start
I've actually had a few minutes for tinkering this week. So I followed up an idea I had based on some things I've seen on BG, and a lubricator I bought at a Sunday market for $5.
I decided not to modify the lubricator at all, so I've threaded low voltage wires through the oil pipe, and used torch bulbs in the main section, and a little wheat grain bulb in the drip chamber.
So now I just need a stand, and a base, and maybe a proper knife switch, and...
Well, it's a start, and maybe in a year or so it'll either be finished, or join all my other partly finished projects.
