Got all the LED's replaced. The countdown timer is about 13% too fast. I've got it set at a minute and it takes about 52 seconds. It uses a 25k ohm variable trimmer resistor tied in with the 555 chip. I vaguely remember Eddie telling me that it ran slightly fast and was adjusted out as far as it would go. I don't know if it's a little faster now or if it's about the same as it has always been, considering it's been probably 10 years since I've used it.

I've learned a considerable amount about electronics making the repairs and I've got pretty good at soldering small components. The controller will be ready for July 20, but I don't know if I'll have a Saturn V ready to go.

Woops, I see one of the LED mounting clips is pushed up. Fixed.
