This part can get pretty tricky. It is no easy task to make all of the connections and install all the components without shorting wires together, but it is not impossible. I used 25 gauge un-insulated buss wire. I started with the power leads from the batteries, then to the pager motors and current limiting resistors, and on through the circuit one section at a time. Parts placement is not critical. Just take your time and check your work as you go.

IMPORTANT NOTE: It is important that the motors turn in opposite directions. One needs to turn clockwise and the other counter-clockwise. This is achieved by reversing the way you hook up the leads on one of the motors.
