As pleased as I was with the price my recent Slinky Tester brought on eBay, I do not plan on building any more for a while, at least, as I have many other projects that I want to get to first.  But for anyone who is interested and capable of doing the work themselves, I made up a drawing.  Sorry for the poor quality; I am  not much of a computer person.  And no, I do not have a CAD program!  So, this hand-drawn blueprint is the best I can offer.  But, anyone is free to use it if they wish.

Crazy Doug

I found one mistake in going over the print.  It's a minor you would probably figure out before you actually drilled the hole.  The original blueprint showed a .499 drilled hole for a press fit to the see saw rod on the flat vertical linkage.  This should read ream .249 for press fit to see saw rod.  See the picture.

Thanks Doug, I'd like to have a go at making one of these as my Winter project.

Very kind of you to share your IP Doug.

And apologies to the other bidders, the Slinky Tester is coming to Plano, Texas.

Although Bruce.....I could probably be persuaded to trade you for those Empire Swings and I would probably be willing to sweeten the pot a little further. 🤠
