Re: Selenoid?
Epoxy some pvc pipe onto the end of the brass knob. Then solder a copper
wire onto the brass knob. Have the copper wire grounded to something good.
Then lay the PVC in some sort of groove so you could keep it in a straight
line. That would keep you safe. I'm glad your not trying to do it with
your hands. Saftey first.
