			(Dave oranges - - - Since the electrical board is transparent, you'll still see all the wires underneath, so I'm not sure wiring underneath is much of an advantage, and we'd have to be careful the wires don't get into the moving mechanical parts.  Maybe just neatly route wires horizontally and vertically on the top of the board and use a lot of zip-ties (ty-wraps) to keep them in place in nice bundles ???)
