And Bob is right about wiring hygiene because when I see a wad of wiring going all over the place just waiting to get caught up in the turret mechanism or the gearbox I always ask:
"Where's the marinara sauce at?", meaning it looks like a bowl of spaghetti.
Here's my Pershing right before replacing the Tamiya connectors:
Like Bob, I spent many of years in electrical troubleshooting & repair, installing customers sound systems and audio enclosures, replacing dashes in $70,000 BMW's, reupholstering 6 piece Recaro seats, fuse box work as well as A/C system analysis and repair, suspension & steering, alignments and brakes. ALL ASE Certified.
Show us your styrene results!

I like how neatly you reduced the size of the speaker Jeff. Did you have that Pershing at Danville the last time you came? I just remember your M4 the best.... Oddball"s Sherman. Too cool.,,,LOL. See it in action here at the begining of this crude video. Video:

A strong mechanical or automotive background is certainly a boost in this hobby.
