Post subject: | DIY: Pulsemeter/tracer unit El Cheapo Deluxe |
I have a Noble replica Pulsemeter that I love dearly, and Stapleton13's new run looks outstanding, but why on God's Green Earth would someone turn one of those into a tracer unit? It just seems like a waste to hide all their hard work with the black mask. So when I found this at Salvation Army I saw an opportunity: Attachment: I cut off the crappy wristband: Attachment: Then attached the leftover decals (shown here just attached with tape) from the Noble Pulsemeter to end up with this: Attachment: But wait, there's more! The watch is reversable, with this little fellow on the back: Attachment: So I added another of the spare Pulsemeter decals from Noble, and now the prop will be able to serve double duty! Attachment: So I need to fill in the screw holes, add the bottom buttons and two side buttons and make a wristband (as well as some general cleanup and a little painting to hide the SW logo), but all in all I'd say this was worth the 79 cents I paid for it ![]() |

Attachment: I used some rubber calculator keys to create the buttons on the sides. These still need to be painted, but i thought I'd take a "before" image. The two front buttons will be trickier, but I'm working on it! |
