I'm kind of pimping this one up a bit, being my second build (been collecting parts for 2 years, high time, no?). The chassis was too oxidized to clean up nicely, so it was off to my buddies plating shop,that normally does bumpers for collector show cars.I opted for the nickle chrome finish.
Anyway, the driver board is mostly done, and I've glued in some blue 3 mm LEDs into the 9 pin tubes.I insulated the wires, and need to find out how best to wire these before I solder in those Russian PIOs (C5-.

The red is the long (+) side, the blue will be the short (-) side....
Can I use the Stereo/mono switch to turn these on and off ? (it just a 2 way switch, correct?)
Where is the best place to power from? (heater 6.3 AC, or is there a suitable dc supply to ride off of?)
Switch the hot (+) side ?

I'd like to have someone over my shoulder here, since I don't want to blow them up wiring them wrong, and having to de-solder, dig them out and start over.....
