    Brian it's a cold cathode light I use for my lithophanes. My led's weren't here yet and I couldn't wait so I cut a pocket were the led strip should go.

    Jeff that version was written about a serial killer in Chicago. (John W. Gacy) He killed young men and buried them in his crawl space. Not sure what year.. Goggle John W. Gacy.. He was a mean man.

    I lived right outside of chicago, this was around the time i graduated in 72 and they kept pulling bodies out till they just decided to tear the house down in order to get all of them

    Isn't it funny (or not!) how a thread can veer off course, just like a conversation?

    What was the size of your cold cathode light bulb you used? I used to be able to buy 6" ones but haven't seen any in a long time and all i've bought is the 12" sizes.
