Hi Danny,

Know what I used to do here in order to generate some serious QRS from my bugs...? I'd slide the weight on the pendulum all the way forward, clip a spring-loaded wooden clothespin atop the weight, and then slip the threaded hood of a PL-259 coax connector atop the clothespin...

Worked like magic!
