Rebirth of the Penguin
Most of you know my story of the Penguin and FedEx. The short of it is: This poor child road around in the back of a FedEx truck for about six weeks logging about 10,000 miles.
Six weeks................The case was splinters. The front facade broken. About 1/3 of the wires were severed. A lot of the plastic casing in the back was shattered. I had to rebuild her. I had to try and make her better.
Now I am not a cabinet maker, nor do I have any fancy tools. So with a circular saw, super clue and wire connectors, I began my task.
This is her without the fiber optics and LED's on.
This is her with those lights on.
You will notice in the above pic that I used arby's lock converion. I painted the allen wrench yellow and put a round crystal on it.

As you can see there is a window into the hopper. This allows me to watch the level of the balls in the hopper. There is a series of fibers that simulate the Norther Lights. (Hard to see in this pic)
And the this is her from the back.
