[quote user="locoi1sa"]    Hook one wire of the buzzer (9 volt or more) to one terminal of the battery the other wire will go to one rail the other terminal of the battery will go to the other rail.       Pete <div style="clear:both;"></div> [/quote] Duh, on me, Pete. Thanks.  I knew I was taking a risk of seeming a complete ninny, but I had hooked the thing up that way and got a buzz immediately.  However, I couldn't see how I had a short circuit already, so I assumed I was hooking up that little circuit in continuous play mode somehow.....well, duh......after hours of checking, (you can guess)............yup, the heat from one drop feeder solder point had melted the tinyest of bare spots on the other feeder below and I had a short....but even pulling the wires out to look at them seemed like there was no problem....had to look again with my high powered drug store specs. At least now I have the buzzer from here on out.....only 100+ more drop feeders on the rest of the layout expansion.
