Hello fellow builders,

If I can be of any service to you in obtaining hardware and or 
electronic parts, please feel free to check my ebay store.

Thanks very much. Hope this did not appear too much as a plug for my 
store. I really am serious about helping with any special parts needs.

Would you please
identify the part number your use from the www.amazingmagnets.com
website?

    

    Correct
me if I am wrong, but I believe that you are in the UK.  Cu plate or
sheets "might" be a challenge finding.  Any sources for that to suggest?
  

  

Hi Jerry,

  

       I use the P250DH size 1" x 1/2" x 1/4" which is more than
adequate with a 1 kg mass.

  

       What mass are you using?  

  

       You will find that Alnico U magnets are quite expensive as well
as having a much lower field.

  

       Yes, I am in the UK. I have a Metals Supermarket about 5 m
away!    

  

       www.ksmetals.com stock 1/16" Al and 1/32" Cu. Model shops carry
their products. They are not cheap, but you don't need much

       Can you use your phone directory to look for non ferrous metal
stockists? How about Home Depot and similar places which sell hardware
/ plumbing / building supplies? They stock the bright mild steel strip
and zinc plated mild steel set screws.

       You do have a huge online hardware supplier, but I can't
remember the name. Steve Hammond might remember? Sean Morrissey used
them a lot. I think that it began with M? Sorry, but my other computer
is 'down'. Check http://www.webstersonline.com/ ?
