Peter S	Re: Eyelets I'm with Speed on this, eyelets look great. are easy and quick to work with, and as far as using solder for a mechanical connection, try sucking the solder out of one and then pulling out the leads.....it isn't always very easy to do. If you're careful during soldering, cold joints aren't a problem. Turrets, as I found out recently are a pain in the neck, take a long time, and look very messy when you're done. Turrets are probably slightly better than eylets, but only marginally so, and not worth the extra time IMHO. Peter S
