I had a real problem finding a good home for my pendant (hydraulic control box) for slides and landing gear. It seemed like nothing worked right. I was just laying it on the floor which wasn't a great place as it would bump into things and turn on the switches.

I put a couple of strips of the "plastic" portion of Velcro to the back of the pendant. The felt lining in the basement acts as the "fuzzy" part of the Velcro. Just stick where you want it. I put 2 strips as the pendant as it is a bit heavy. Now it real handy to "stick" it up on the wall when you're done using it. Not rocket science, but thought I'd share.

And.....no workhorse.....it won't work on an antique like yours!!! Just funnin'!!!

When I run out of projects....I might just buy the controller and mount it someplace!!!

Just because it's old....doesn't mean it can't look cool. If I run the cord into the wall....no one will know it's not connected!
