Made solid headway today, should be down to final assembly next.
All of the rope light segments for both fireworks are now corded and ready to go on.
After finishing up the last of those, I painted the larger spokes, so those are ready for rope light.
I also got the LED C9's for the tips of the spokes ready to go. Turns out Action Lighting sent me sockets for SPT2 although I specified SPT1 and the order actually says SPT1. Since I live in the middle of nowhere and really can't afford to wait a week to get the right sockets here, I had to make it work. I just carefully positioned the wire in the sockets so that both sides were pierced, then cut little sections of wire tie as a spacer to hold the wire snug in the socket. It actually worked out just fine, so those are ready to go on as well.
Now I just need to get the rope light attached to the spokes and wiring done for each spoke assembly, finish my two JUMP poles and this one will be in the can. Such a chore!
