I ended up just soldering wires to the metal contacts on the bulb holders - seems to work OK although its not the most satisfactory solution.

I don't have the buzzer of doom circuit so perhaps someone else can confirm but yes, I'd assume you are correct ...... (It was you saying it was made of wood that threw me?!?!)

Yep - but mine was the simplest version possible - no buzzer, no rev counter etc
