After almost 6 months working on this (not every day), Andria and I finally gave Rob and Katrina their wedding present.  Only one month late!  Not bad considering some of the obstacles.  So, here it is in all it’s glory.

Here’s how the buttons work:

The red button on the right is lit up inside with an LED when it’s pushed down.  When pushed down, the music box will play every day at noon.  The button to the very left of it will play the music box whenever you press it, unless you are setting the clock.  Pressing the two left side buttons down for two seconds starts the clock into setting mode where the left button is hours, and the one to the right of it is minutes.  To get out of setting mode, press the button next to the LED switch.  That’s it.  Here’s more pictures, and a video.

Congratulations again Rob and Katrina.
