First thing I got was a free cigar box from the liquor store. Then I went up into the attic to get that old PC. I got a fan and a hard drive out of it. I broke one of the hard drive magnets trying to get it out, then I remembered that I had some really strong magnets stuck to the fridge. At first I just stuck the magnet to the fan, but the fan wouldn't start spinning on it's own because the magnet was so strong. I ended up putting a washer on top of the fan, then the magnet on top of the washer. It was hard to get the washer and magnet centered on the fan, but once I got them in the right place I used hot glue to hold them down. I have no idea what the dc adapter is from. It's 12.5v 180ma and it seems to be a good size for me. Then I went up to Radio Shack and got a rheostat and switch. The wiring wasn't exactly easy for me but I finally figured it out. I could have left the wires as they were in the box, but I decided to make it look nice and neat and I'm glad I did. I also used a piece of wood to raise the fan so the magnet is right under the lid. Enough of that, here's the parts list. Romeo Y Julieta cigar box: Free DC adapter: Free PC fan: Free Washer: Free Magnet: $19.99 www.amazon.com Rheostat: $4.29 www.radioshack.com Switch: $4.99 www.radioshack.com Stir bar: $4.05 www.amazon.com Knob: $2.99 www.radioshack.com I think thats it.

interesting.

I purchased the same illuminated toggle switch, but wasn’t exactly sure how to wire it to make the light work? Any tips or pointers? I can almost see where the wires are going from the video, but not exactly sure. Thanks -B

The knob is Radio Shack part number 274-424 and it’s $2.99.

AdamCanFly November 9, 2011 at 1:39 pm

Oh that’s a good point. I forgot about the knob. It was not included with the rheostat. Ill get the part number when I get home.

I see the 25-Ohm 3-Watt Rheostat does it come with the controller knob?
