Cool sign. Didn't you have short circuits with all these component legs going over each other ?
P.S. : the commenting system is still broken, if I post a comment after a few days without posting, it gets rejected ("the text entered is wrong"), and I am logged out. It seems the site remembers me longer than the commenting system.

Make needs to encourage the readers to comment more.
Great project, good work.

This will make the perfect gift for a friend who is an enormous Twins fan for next season (and I will make one for my favorite minor league team, St. Paul Saints).
Is there a way to get a bit closer look at the physical circuit for the blinking portion? I have interpreted a few circuit diagrams, but it is always nice to have a picture of a complete product to compare with in the end.
Cheers and great job.

I was looking at the circuit schematic and was curious what relay was used? I have some 555's that I can use for a similar circuit, but was curious what relay was used in your sign?
