How would you suspend the coins in the water? The alligator clips should not touch the water, right? I haven't a clue. A photo would surely be helpful. :-)
I have silver strips and have been wondering where I could get new ones without going to the place where I bought the generator. Any ideas on who else might have some for sale?

I realize these are elemental questions, but I'm asking them anyway :-) Aldi On Wed, Mar 3, 2010 at 2:12 PM, GARY ABEL <gajo...@yahoo.com> wrote: > I dunno too much about the prices on silver wire.
