Ooh, shiny

The brass bezel for the screen and the brass mounting plate for the electronics have been fabbed. Thanks to Doug G for machining the LCD bezel! It looks like a perfect fit. My plan is to mount the LCD bezel with VHB tape.

The mounting plate is giving me fits. It has a small curvature that I need to compensate for. Since this is still a prototype, I'm trying to build the electronics out of proto boards. It would go together a lot easier if I went ahead and did a layout and fab a board, but I'm not ready to commit on the circuit design yet. Perhaps it might be easier to go ahead, assemble the main uke parts and punt on the electronics until I fully decide on what I want.
